Trump abortion comments at odds with pro-lifers

Former President Donald Trump announced his disapproval earlier this month after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a law that bans abortion except in cases where the mother’s life is in danger can be enforced. did.

Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays (Democratic) shown The earliest this law will go into effect is June 8th. law “Providing, supplying or administering, or arranging for a pregnant woman to take, any medicine, drug or substance, or using any device or other means with the intent to cause the pregnant woman to miscarry; “A person who uses or employs something.” Unless she needs to save her life, she will be sentenced to no less than two years and no more than five years in state prison. ”

The would-be Republican presidential nominee supported exceptions to the abortion ban in cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother, saying states needed to take action to “correct what happened.” .

“The Arizona Supreme Court went too far in its decisions on abortion, enacting and approving inappropriate laws starting in 1864. So now the Governor and the Arizona Legislature must use their heart and common sense to correct what happened. We must act immediately. Remember, it now depends on the goodwill of those who represent the nation and the people. We ideally have three exceptions: rape, incest and maternal life. This is important. The Arizona Legislature should not be executed at the moment of birth, and in some cases after birth. ” President Trump declared: post In real social.

Seth Dillon, CEO of the popular satirical website Babylon Bee, told Blaze News that he takes issue with some of President Trump’s recent statements, but that the Republican presidential candidate remains ” “It was an obvious choice,” he added.

“The pro-life position that I support and defend is that you can’t go too far in protecting innocent and defenseless babies. Trump is out of step with pro-lifers out there. But , but he’s the obvious choice. There’s no other choice. If you’re pro-life, you want to see the Democrats win,” Dillon said, echoing statements he made in a previous interview. post With X.

Dillon’s sentiments are likely echoed by many other pro-lifers.

Trump is scheduled to face Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also seeking the presidential election. shown That he is pro-choice.

“While I don’t agree with Mr. Trump that some abortions are acceptable (if life is sacred, it always is), Mr. Trump is doing what politicians do. is aiming for compromise to avoid alienating voters. It’s up to others to decide whether that’s the best strategy.”I’m not a politician, so regardless of what the polls say, I’m telling the truth. I say what I think is right,” Dillon told Blaze News.

“In my opinion, being pro-abortion, even in rare circumstances, should be just as politically harmful as being pro-slavery. To put it another way, the problem is that we are failing in the fight for a “pro-life” culture. It’s not about being too much. It’s that our culture passionately supports death. “In that case, the culture, not our belief that all human life is sacred, must change,” he explained.

US Supreme Court 2022 ruling It returned full power to states to decide how to handle abortion issues. Three of the judges responsible for this decision, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, nominated The announcement was made while Trump was in the White House.

The ruling stated, “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each state from regulating or prohibiting abortion. egg and casey insulted its authority. We now reverse those decisions and return that power to the people and their elected representatives. ”

Mr Trump is Said He said he was “a person who proudly takes responsibility for the outcome of…” Roe vs. Wade. ”

“My view is that from a legal standpoint, abortion is happening wherever anyone wants it,” Trump said in a video released earlier this month. “Both sides will decide, and whatever the state decides, it has to decide on abortion.” The law of the land, in this case the law of the state. ”

“I always follow my heart, but we have to win. We have to win,” Trump said.

But while pro-lifers are predicting a 2022 high court ruling,As a major victory, they are claiming an end to America’s ongoing abortion holocaust.

“The ultimate goal of the pro-life movement should be to end this state-sanctioned scourge of child victimization off our shores once and for all.” Blaze TV host Steve Diace told Blaze News.

“To me, anything else as a desired and actually pursued goal is not pro-life and playing a dangerous game with something that I believe God takes very seriously.” Now, people with conscience may have different opinions on what is the best/most sensible way to pursue that goal, and I respect that. For example, a friend of mine who believed it was better to fight this at the state level now even before President Trump achieved that goal, the former president of Arizona at the time, respects that. It’s one thing to say we’re chipping away at it; It’s quite another to insist on going backwards to authorize more murders,” Diace said.

Blaze Media’s Daniel Horowitz suggested in a phone interview that President Trump will continue to move to the left on abortion and other issues if conservatives don’t assert themselves and express their displeasure with the former president. .

“It’s another thing to quietly and strategically focus on inflation and aggression rather than lead on abortion in the lead-up to an election. But Trump has gone a step further by actively undermining Republicans in Congress. “All the current law accomplishes is to demonstrate further weakness to voters,” Horowitz said in a written statement.

“The real cause of Republican apathy at the polls is the lack of a coherent message or outcome on other important quality-of-life issues. If Republicans tighten their stance on other issues… , voters won’t punish them for their stance on abortion. Unfortunately, President Trump has moved to the left on other issues recently, including Obamacare, funding for Ukraine, and Bud Light, but taken together, this is not the case. “It smacks of desperation against donors rather than any particular maverick MAGA strategy that has been playing off Republican candidates for decades,” Horowitz said.
