After clarifying his public position on abortion, former President Donald Trump said Democrats are “radicals” on abortion and said he would send the decision back to the states.
President Trump shared a video of former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam discussing the issue of late-term abortion. During the debate, Northam, a Democrat, said that children born alive from late-term abortions do not need to be resuscitated if their mothers do not wish to do so.
“If the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what will happen. The baby will be delivered. The infant will be comfortable,” Northam, a pediatric neurologist, said in the video. “If the mother and her family wish to do so, the infant will be resuscitated and a discussion will then take place between the doctor and the mother.”
President Trump said in a Truth Social post:
When asked about late-trimester abortions and a bill that would allow a woman to have an abortion while she is giving birth, former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam said: An infant will be born. Toddlers will be kept comfortable. The infant will be resuscitated if the mother and family so desire. A discussion will then take place between the doctor and the mother. ”
“That means babies are executed after birth!” Trump continued.
“Always remember: Democrats are the abortion radicals,” Trump added, providing a video.
Trump’s post was one of a series of follow-ups after he released his official position on abortion on Monday, saying, “My view is that abortions that everyone wants from a legal standpoint are being done. , states will decide by vote, law, or both.” And what they decide must be the law of the land. ”
“This is all about the will of the people. You have to follow your heart, in many cases your own religion or faith. Do what’s right for your family, do what’s right for you,” Trump said. went on to draw strong reactions from those on the left who believed his position to be radical, and from some on the right who did not believe his position had any validity. Close enough to save your life.
In another follow-up post, President Trump noted that Democrats will never be satisfied with pro-life Republicans and will never settle this issue with compromises with Republicans.
“…Democrats never gave up on this issue, no matter how many weeks the Republicans went, no matter how many weeks they insisted, ‘Unlimited abortion!'” We won a great victory, and that’s what it is. “We’re back in America, where we all wanted it to be,” Trump said.
“America is going to make the decision. Republicans are now free to run for office because of our terrible borders, our inflation, our bad economy, and the death and destruction of our country!” he said. Added:
