Along comes Donald Trump to talk about Doctors and Mothers wrapping the baby in beautiful clothes before they decide to execute "it".
As if it is an enjoyable Sunday stroll in the park.
As if he has become the arbiter of what is right and moral in this country.
As if these women are somehow less than human.
As if it is an easy decision when a young girl or woman is raped, to decide to carry to term that child.
As if it is an easy decision when a child becomes pregnant by a member of her family.
These self-righteous moralizers have always used abortion as a political issue when they have felt trouble coming in the next election. Is that what is happening here?
It is painfully obvious that Donald Trump will use any issue possible to divide our country.
It is despicable.

(36,807 posts)Republicans are in favor of killing living babies and have done so.
Pro-life is a myth.
The supposed pro-lifers cared naught when the state of Texas (republican gov, republican Prez) deliberately killed living baby Sun Hudson against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state.
It is not a matter of life to the supposed pro-lifers.
It is a matter of control.

It's pretty clear he's uttered the phrase "Get rid of 'it'." more than once in his life to an expecting mother.
But, he views women as baby making appliances only convenient to prove his virility and otherwise a liability.

Ohiogal
(32,000 posts)He is morally bankrupt and probably doesnt give a whit about either side. His M.O. is to support the cause that keeps his base energized. Ill bet any money he has paid for a few abortions in his life.

(58,785 posts)All but the self-demented know this for appalling nonsense, and that includes by far most who oppose abortion. We're surrounded with them here. They're not idiots, and they really don't like these shabby lies slapped on what they hold as honest and moral beliefs.
kentuck
(111,097 posts)I cannot recall even one issue that he did not seek to divide with...
Never one to unite us.
There is nothing honest or moral about it.
People have a right to oppose abortion - they don't have a right to force their belief on someone else or to take away the individual rights of women.

(4,066 posts)If the scuttlebutt is true, he's all for abortion when it involves one of his sexual partners. Given his depraved "grab 'em by the pussy" tape I have no doubt the scuttlebutt is true.
He's just a con man and grifter who will use anything he can to get ahead and profit. He's using the anti-choice crowd just the way he uses the evangelical crowd.

(9,895 posts)Will there be mandatory government uterus inspections each month for EVERY woman in America?
Who will pay for THAT government program?
Do they plan to pay for that by starving more fetuses that were birthed already?
Is THIS what Trump was talking about in "executing" the baby - 'congrats, you're born, NOW you're fucked!!!"
Will there be special courts set up to prosecute doctors and another to prosecute women?
Will there be a birth panel established to chain to pregnant women and prevent them from leaving anti-women states to seek relief elsewhere?
I defy these fools to enforce their "laws" and then to own the backlash to them...the majority of Americans do NOT wish to live in a bizarre dystopian theocracy, no matter what the inbred morons of the Bible belt want to believe...
