I firmly believe that abortion is murder. No one has a right to commit murder therefore there can be no right to an abortion. For the past 50 years we have witnessed the most heinous genocide ever perpetrated, the slaughter of hundreds of millions of unborn children worldwide.
Because abortion is murder it should never have been legalized here in the United States. Roe v Wade was a particularly monstrous decision because it overturned abortion bans that 46 states had enacted. This I learned from Google.
Prior to Roe v. Wade, 30 states prohibited abortion without exception, 16 states banned abortion except in certain special circumstances (e.g. rape, incest, and health threat to mother), 3 states allowed residents to obtain abortions, and New York allowed abortions generally.
Roe v. Wade was profoundly unconstitutional because the Constitution did not grant any branch of the federal government the authority to overturn state abortion bans.
Thanks to the Marxists who call themselves Progressives, abortion has polarized the United States like no other issues. This past Monday President Trump issued a major policy statement on this most thorny issue: Read Trump abortion statement | The Hill
Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights, especially since I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars, both sides, wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended: Roe v. Wade. They wanted it ended.
“It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth — and that’s exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth — is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that.”
Pointing out just how radical the Democrats’ position on abortion is was a strategically sound decision by President Trump.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint. The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”
“At the end of the day this is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart, or in many cases your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself, do what’s for your children, do what’s right for our country, and vote. So important to vote.”
At the end of the day it’s all about will of the people. That’s where we are right now, and that’s what we want. The will of the people.”
I believe taking the middle ground was a strategically wise decision by President Trump. Taking a hard line on this issue would have been a major turn off for moderates and would have energized the left.
“Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.”
“You must follow your heart on this issue, but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture and in fact to have our country, which is currently and very sadly a nation in decline. Our nation needs help. It needs unity, it needs all of us to work closely together. Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, everyone. We have to work together. We have to bring our nation back from the brink, and that’s where it is. It’s at the brink. And we will. We will do it. I promise you, we will do it.”
“Always go by your heart, but we must win. We have to win. We are a failing nation, but we can be a failing nation no longer. We will make our nation great. We will make our nation greater than ever before. Thank you very much.”
Taking a hard line on abortion would have made it easier for the Democrats to steal another election because it would have shifted a significant number of votes to Biden.
President Trump is Constitutionally correct when he stated that abortion is an issue that must be left in the hands of the states. The Constitution does not grant federal government the authority to define or punish the crime of murder.
The reviews of President Trump’s abortion speech were mixed. Check out these two articles:
Trump nailed it with his statement today about abortion – American Thinker
Today, Donald Trump issued his statement on abortion, disavowing federal involvement. It was both a correct decision and a politically smart one. Democrats have always used abortion to bring voters into its fold. Now, it cannot do that anymore.
Everything Wrong With Trump’s 2024 Abortion And IVF Messaging (thefederalist.com)
The Republican once hailed as the most successful pro-life president in American history made clear on Monday that he is softening his position on abortion and beefing up his support for in vitro fertilization ahead of the 2024 general election.
“Saying the issue is ‘back to the states’ cedes the national debate to the Democrats who are working relentlessly to enact legislation mandating abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy. If successful, they will wipe out states’ rights,” Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in her response statement.
