Trump Won’t Commit to Florida Anti-Abortion Constitutional Amendment

[Toro]

Probably the right political stance.

But Democrats - if they’re smart, and that’s no guarantee - will hammer him for appointing Justices that overturned Roe.

Conservatives, however, will wonder why their Leader won’t stand by their single most important issue.

DONALD TRUMP IS SO FREAKED OUT about the potency of abortion as a political issue that he sometimes refers to it as the “A-Word” to avoid naming it.​

Anti-abortion activists have tried to persuade him to back a 15-week limit, but for now, Trump is keeping quiet about his policy preference. His campaign says the former president believes it’s an issue best left up to the states.​

But his home state just threw him a curveball on the issue. On Monday, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that a ballot initiative for a state constitutional amendment protecting access to the procedure can go to a vote this fall. The Republican Party of Florida opposes the measure, which will be on the same ballot as Trump.​

​

That raises the question: Will Florida’s best-known Republican vote yes or no?​

Trump isn’t saying.​

Trump Won’t Commit on Florida Abortion Vote

Sunshine State voters will decide whether abortion belongs in the state constitution. But one Florida Man won’t weigh in on the “A-word.”

Democrats are pinning all their hopes on their fake "Reproductive Rights" issue.

Democrats are pinning all their hopes on their fake "Reproductive Rights" issue.

How is it fake? Most Americans want people to have access to legal abortions.

Too late. Trump's been bragging about killing abortion.... fairly recently.

He's TOAST!!!

Democrats are pinning all their hopes on their fake "Reproductive Rights" issue.

I Don't see reproductive issues changing except where it is challenged for being the repugnant form of loss of the life ending of a little human being who can't fight hard enough to save his life from instruments that inflict pain on the infant who is getting his brains sucked out of his head in the most horrific use of the health community.
Pardon me for aggravating the pro-kill baby faction so popular with atheistic programmers to kill without caring for an unborn human being whose kin have been seen on videos avoiding sharp pointed instruments by darting away from it and putting little hands up to protect their heads. I saw the video of such a child going through his own abortion and doing all he could to stop the sharp point from generating pain on his head.

Trump has shot himself in the foot.

President Trump is saying exactly what we've been saying...which is exactly what Democrats used to say before they lost their collective minds...

Safe, legal and rare...reduce as much as humanly possible the use of abortion as a form of birth control...end late term abortions.

Ending Roe was important not only to return the issue to the people to decide...the Roe decision was a travesty against the Constitution. The original Courts decision to uphold Roe was to make up a "right" out of whole cloth in order to codify an unpopular position without a democratic vote on the issue.

Rectifying that catastrophic ruling that the Constitution can say whatever we want it to say was even more important than the abortion question.

Too harsh! Trump suggests Desantis' 6 week abortion law went too far

Donald Trump seems to be open to admitting that when a woman is pregnant whatever is in her womb is not always a "baby". As a moderate conservative I believe that this is a good view and Desantis is too much of a conservative. Being a conservative is fine but not too conservative. Do you think a...

Everyone knows Democrats are desperate to make abortion 'the' issue because they lose in a landslide on every other issue. Trump is just acknowledging reality.
