President Trump has further distanced himself from the pro-life movement, claiming last week to support “reproductive rights” for women. Meanwhile, VP candidate JD Vance said in an interview that, should he win the White House, Trump would veto a potential federal abortion ban.
From The Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump on Friday said on social media that a future Trump administration will be “great” for “reproductive rights,” setting off various reactions online.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
Democrats have been laser-focused on the issue of abortion for upcoming elections, routinely falsely claiming that pro-life laws are responsible for hurting women and telling Americans that Trump wants to outlaw abortion in all cases, which is not Trump’s position.
Again addressing the issue on Friday, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “My administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”
The term “reproductive rights” is used synonymously with abortion by Democrats. It’s unclear if Trump meant the same; he did post five-plus hours later about “leading” on in vitro fertilization, or IVF. …
Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing noted Trump’s pro-life legacy while deeming the “reproductive rights” post Trump’s “worst statement” since he first launched his campaign in 2015.
“The worst statement Donald Trump has made since he announced for the presidency in 2015,” Boreing wrote. “For better and for worse, Trump is philosophically malleable. His first term was perhaps the most pro-life in actual effect of any administration in our history. That is his legacy – if he will keep it.” …
Conservative Allie Beth Stuckey commented, “Absolutely no one is thinking, ‘I’m this close to voting for Trump. If he makes one more pro-choice post, I am IN!’ I promise,” she wrote. “Winning no one and losing enough for it to matter.” …
Back in April, Trump made clear that he believes the GOP should not press for federal pro-life legislation, arguing that Democrats “want this [issue of abortion] to simmer for as long a period of time as possible.” …
From The Daily Wire. Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said during an interview over the weekend that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if it came across his desk.
Vance made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” when asked about the issue of abortion …
Host Kristen Welker asked: “Can you commit, Senator, sitting right here with me today, that if you and Donald Trump are elected that you will not impose a federal ban on abortion?”
“I can absolutely commit that, Kristen,” Vance said. …
When asked if he would veto a federal abortion ban, Vance said: “I think he would. He’s said that explicitly that he would.” …
