For a gazillion reasons, Trump’s been my vote from the get go, but he just put that into the ?? column with his new position (in order to win) that there are three exceptions that allow abortion. My head is spinning with thoughts about “you can never do evil, no matter how small, even to bring about a greater good”, and then there’s that, do I vote for “the lesser of two evils”? Sad that we can’t have one good capable solid Christian candidate.
Don, let me guess, the exceptions are rape, incest and health of mom.
It’s the Protestant line.
Rape, or false claim, is how we got RvW.
And the delivering of a baby early due to an emergency/mother’s health will never be the same as snipping the spinal cord and dismembering the child.
Abortion isn’t going away, is it
Trump had the same exceptions in 2016. More concerning is his pushing a national 16 week ban. However that is DOA. Little GOP support and no Democrat support.
“you can never do evil, no matter how small, even to bring about a greater good”
The question is not whether Trump, or any other candidate’s, position on abortion is morally perfect or ideal. The question is which one will improve the current situation or at least not make it worse. When compared to the moral ideal of no abortion at all, Trump’s stance is seriously lacking. However, it’s a vast improvement over the Biden administration’s insistence on unlimited abortion for any reason, branding pro-lifers as domestic terrorists and crisis pregnancy centers as fraudulent.
Don, I’m not a lawyer, so I’m sure you have a better idea of what lawyers and judges actually think about what certainly appears to be this administration’s weaponization of the law and persecution of its political opponents.
Is there concern growing amongst legal professionals? Or are conservative lawyers and judges the only ones who worry about this?
I suspect members of the Supreme Court are becoming concerned. Judging from the polls, I think this attempt to win by lawfare instead of the ballot box is unpopular with the people,
