Trump’s abortion statement was saavy. He’s now the moderate candidate on abortion

You’re shitting your pants realizing Trump is winning this election aren’t you?

No matter what he says, it will get played up as evil in the media

Trump needs to focus on 1) the border, 2) crime in our own nation, 3) Ukraine / Biden’s impending WWIII and Trump’s record of peace

Those are absolutely winning issues for Trump, and should be front and center in the eyes of voters

Gaining your approval was tops on his 24 campaign goals.

Well, he said this two weeks ago.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he was leaning toward a 15-week national ban on abortion but supports exceptions for rape, incest and saving the life of the mother because "you have to win elections."

Abortion promises to be a galvanizing issue for some women voters in the 2024 presidential election in which Trump will try to unseat Democratic President Joe Biden.

The former Republican president, whose three right-wing appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court secured the majority needed to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, has not been specific on whether he would sign a national ban into law.

In a call-in radio interview on Tuesday, he came close.

"The number of weeks now, people are agreeing on 15. And I'm thinking in terms of that. And it’ll come out to something that’s very reasonable. But people are really, even hard-liners are agreeing, seems to be, 15 weeks seems to be a number that people are agreeing at," Trump said on the "Sid & Friends in the Morning" show on WABC.

He said he would make an announcement at the appropriate time.

Trump supports leaving the abortion issue up to the states

---

it's always been a states rights issue

A person gets pregnant in Alabama, where a fetus is recognized as a child. That person flies to California where abortion is legal and the fetus is not a person.

The person returns to Alabama where there is now a missing citizen. Can Alabama prosecute the mother for death of a child?

You can't have partial citizenship. Trump is failing on this as it's not a states rights issue on the legality of the fetus and how that concept crosses state boundaries.

It's the same playbook as gay marriage. You can't be married in one state and not the other.

Hes a stable genius and you are a mentally ill person who needed lithium to deal with his mean tweets

Reps are pissed on X... They are saying this could stop them from voting at all.

Trump’s official position on abortion:

“I dunno—whatever will make more people vote for me”
