Donald Trump just admitted he's working to overturn Roe v. Wade -- again

This article gives the history of Trump's and the GOP's declared war on abortion rights in the U.S.

Make no mistake: they are working to do away with legal abortion in this country.

It was October 19, 2016. During the third presidential debate Republican nominee Donald Trump emphatically stated he would work to overturn Roe v. Wade.

“Because I am pro-life, and I will be appointing pro-life judges, I would think that that will go back to the individual states,” Trump told moderator Chris Wallace. “If we put another two or perhaps three justice on, that’s really what’s going to be. That’ll happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court.”

Some Americans think that maybe Roe might get overturned, few seem to understand that this was the GOP’s plan all along. This is not some strange series of unrelated events, some coincidence. All these new anti-abortion laws flooding the states. Extremist anti-abortion judges flooding the federal courts. Two extremist anti-abortion justices now on the Supreme Court. This is all by design.
