Abortion

As expected, abortion was a big topic of discussion last night. Unlike previous Republican nominees, Donald Trump did not try to run away from the issue.

He praised his Supreme Court appointees for overturning Roe v. Wade, stated his support for the three exceptions – rape, incest, and life of the mother – that Ronald Reagan believed in, and used the opportunity to point out that the left’s pro-abortion extremism.

CNN moderator Dana Bash challenged Joe Biden on that point, asking, “Do you support any legal limits on how late a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy?”

Biden replied that he supports Roe v. Wade and added, “We are not for late-term abortion, period.” Trump responded, “Under Roe v. Wade, you have late-term abortion. You can do whatever you want, depending on the state.”

So-called “progressive” politicians have consistently opposed efforts to protect innocent preborn babies from late-term abortions. They even opposed legislation that required doctors to treat babies that survived abortions and were born alive. That’s infanticide!

The left is making a lot of noise about conservatives and pro-life activists supporting a “national ban.” It’s the pro-abortion left that supports a national ban -- on any and every pro-life law.

Progressives have introduced legislation called the Women’s Health Protection Act, and Joe Biden has promised to sign it. This radical bill would repeal every pro-life law and ban states from passing any law that tries to prevent even one abortion.
