Donald Trump attempted to strike a new tone on the issue of abortion this week, saying he would be “great for women and their reproductive rights” — to the frustration of anti-abortion advocates.
Democrats frequently use the phrase “reproductive rights” as a stand-in for abortion but also to refer more broadly to a range of medical practices related to child-bearing, such as birth control and in vitro fertilization. Support for reproductive rights, when invoked by Democrats, almost always means support for access to abortion. In contrast, Republicans rarely talk about abortion in that way, and anti-abortion advocates quickly took notice of Trump’s tonal shift.
Lila Rose, founder of the anti-abortion group Live Action, speaking on her podcast on Friday, criticized Trump for trying to “ingratiate himself with those that are pro-abortion” with his use of the phrase.
“Not only is it not principled, it’s not going to help the Trump campaign to be trying to sound like a Democrat right now,” Rose said.
“I’ll say whatever gets me elected, so I can pardon myself from a bunch of crimes.”
Back when he was building Trump Tower, Donnie had a chance to ingratiate himself with the Manhattan elites. The building he was going to raze was a 5th Avenue landmark and had a famous façade. After repeatedly promising to save it, Donnie destroyed it.
The Trump voters are finally seeing what Donnie’s neighbors saw decades ago.
This weirdo thinks women have no memory.
I’m shocked that the guy that very clearly doesn’t see women as human thinks they won’t remember all the awful shit he’s done to make their lives worse.
He’s a rapist. He says he can grab women by the pussy. He’s cheated on every one of his wives. Why any woman likes him is beyond me.
Frankly, that shouldn’t be limited to women. That’s abhorrent behavior, and frankly it speaks volumes about each and every one of his voters.
Bingo
“I’ll be great with X” definitively strikes me as a well thought out policy plan …
And tfw it totally worked on these goddamned clown in 2016.
“What do you have to lose?”
Uh, a bunch of intelligence assets? A sometimes reasonable Supreme Court? Untold standing on the world stage? A shred of principles, ethics, morals, integrity, decency?
Fucking conman.
He’ll say anything if it means he won’t go to jail or get thrown from a window for defaulting on his half a billion in Russian loans. That or it’s the dementia and he can’t remember where he stands on anything.
Trumps pledges are just lies. He won’t do any of what he says because he’s a liar.
After: “you’ve taken away women’s’ reproductive rights!”
Him: “yeah. Isn’t it great?”
Y’all giving him a lot of benefit by thinking he didn’t mean and say “grate”.
I’ve read this headline like 5 times today and I keep coming back to the idea that, absent trump, just imagine that whole sentence “angering” anyone. What assholes.
“As President Trump has consistently stated, he supports the rights of individuals in their respective states to determine their laws on abortion. President Trump also strongly supports ensuring women have access to the care they need to create healthy families, including widespread access to IVF, birth control, and contraception, and he always will,” said Karoline Leavitt, the campaign’s national press secretary.
Get the word out so his evangelical cultists abandon him.
Rapist says what??
Their pesky reproductive rights
