It seems very hard to believe a philanderer on the magnitude of Donny has never paid for an abortion.
Comservatives: Please keep the government out of my private life. If the government has the power to interfere with a woman's right to privacy to the degree you all want, it has the power to control your firearms.

Trump the politician will continue to flip-flop on this, just like he's done on other issues. And his base will flip-flop along with him.
Trump's pushing a big brother state further limiting the rights of individuals. He's got the evangelicals, one of the best examples of big brother worshippers, siding with him, ignoring Trump's loathsome personal history which includes paying prostitutes and porn stars, lying, cheating and busting all the alleged commandments they claim to follow .
Trump the demagogue's firebrand tweets must remind them of the televangelists and other con-men and -women who've deceived them all their lives. Fortunately they remain a minority.

I agree with other posters above. If someone should be pro-choice, it's Trump. He must have had some pregnancy scares in his days...

Too late, Trump Republicans. You made your bed with deranged "right to life" zealots, who strangely tend to be comfortable with military and other killing. Republicans, Trump and "right to life" wack jobs are forever wedded. At least as forever wedded as multi-divorced Trump can get.
It's about 2020 and that's all these Republicans care about. This so called president will go wherever the wind blows and where the obvious road to re-election leads him.

Trump was pro-abortion before he was anti-abortion

It's a curious reflection on the workings of the human brain that, as everybody knows, the majority of so-called "pro-life" folks ( a minority opinion in the USA) espouse executions by the state. Can fair, sincere people explain how they can resolve this odd contradiction and still profess their belief in the "sanctity of life" without resorting to hypocrisy or disingenuousness?

Pro life conservatives = Ban abortion because its murder and murder is wrong, but lets go to war and kill the evil Muslims!

Below is some data. Federal govt info, so pro-Trump anti-Americans will probably dismiss it.

then quotes Donny:
*In a series of tweets late Saturday, **the president declared himself “strongly Pro-Life, with the three **exceptions – Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother.”***
Yeah, Donny didn't say that, what he said was exactly that!!!!! A perfect example of hyperpartisanship clouding one's judgment.
Chip Star
He's pro-choice for cases of incest, rape, and to protect the mother's life. Donny specifically didn't link abortions for rape and incest with saving the mother's life. All three are choices, ergo, he's not pro-life or pro-choice.
Which is why Zichi asked instead of doing what you constantly do and tell.
How is abortion being legal a threat to your family? Abortion doctors don't run up to pregnant women on the street and perform procedures. Why would you even bring this up? Irrelevant.

@theFu
They chose to be murderers.
According to the latest scientific evidence "free will" must be doubted so it is highly unlikely that murderers do any "choosing". The causes of their violent acts derive from the abnormal functioning of their brains which places their mental abnormalities on the spectrum of psychopathy thus reducing their capacity for empathy. War also kills many innocents, but this fact seems to rarely disturb the conscience of the "sanctity of life" folks or the people responsible for the large-scale loss of life that wars inevitably cause.

Readers, back on topic please.

And he changed his position.
bass4funk
That is not what he said. This is how liberals always get into trouble.

President Donald Trump waded into the issue of women’s reproductive rights, suggesting a measure banning almost all abortions in Alabama went too far.
*In a series of tweets late Saturday, *the president declared himself “strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions – Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother.”
bass4funk
You're not a conservative either.
so my statement was correct. Trump makes exceptions for abortions
No, you said, “Trump continues to support abortion for rape, incest and life danger to the female.” which he does not meaning: he is Pro-life except for life threatening cases it doesn’t mean he supports as if it’s a good thing.
bass4funk
I don’t believe that at all, I believe that the GOP want this fight because this would be the best time in a long time that the courts are more conservative leaning to tackle this issue and take on Roe v. wade.
bass4funk
Well, you definitely lean more liberal, that’s for sure.
I disagree vehemently, I believe you can be Pro-life even if you support in the early trimester weeks to ending a pregnancy that was caused by rape, incest or saving the life of a child even if you make those exceptions based on a violent and serious crisis.
Ok, that’s you and your opinionated definition, I respect that. I however, don’t agree.
I’m 100% Pro-life and No one can pigeonhole me to say what I am or am not just because I make an exception for something that would be traumatic or violent in saving a life. I love life, but I would do anything to protect my family if someone tried to hurt them, anything, even if I don’t like or believe in violence except for self-defense or the preservation of life.

Unborn are innocents.
Murderers who are sentenced to the death penalty are not. They chose to be murderers.
The same hypocrisy can be said for abortionists and anti-death penalty people. Won't kill a convicted murderer, but will destroy an innocent, unborn, fetus?
