By Seung Min Kim Seung Min Kim White House reporter Email Bio Follow May 19 at 11:02 AM President Trump is carefully distancing himself from a new Alabama law that outlaws abortion even in cases of rape and incest — stressing his “strongly pro-life” credentials while aligning himself with other Republicans who also believe the new statute goes too far.
But he underscored that his position — Trump has said he opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at risk — is the same as that of former president Ronald Reagan. He urged Republicans to instead stay united on the issue, which the GOP has used to go on the offensive against Democrats, particularly in the wake of a new law in New York that has expanded access to late-term abortion.
But during his time in office, Trump has promoted and enacted policies that have delighted antiabortion groups. In addition to the Mexico City policy — also known as the “global gag rule” — Trump in 2017 signed into law a bill that gave states permission to withhold federal family planning funds from groups that provide abortion, such as Planned Parenthood.
hahahahaha!
“I am very pro-choice.” -Trump, 1999
What about the abortions allegedly performed on his former sleep mates? But his memory is short and selective.
Children are dying in Trump's so-called 'Detention Centers', but he wants us to think he's strongly 'Pro-Life'! LMAO!
He is whatever floats HIS boat!!!!
Many who are pro life like myself believe in an exception for rape. It’s still killing a baby but how can anyone possibly make a woman have that kid? The state does sanction killing in some cases and this is one that it should however horrible it all is
Everyone is pro life. No one WANTS abortion. It’s pro-autonomy or anti-autonomy. You either believe the government can tell you what you can do with your body or you don’t. There are rules in place for when and how these procedures can be done. Everything else is propaganda.
Bullish..!
Trump is pro fetus maybe but definitely not pro-life - look what he does to children once they are born!
That's right. Pander to both sides at the same time and hope for the best. Trumpisacrook
I heard life comes to fetus at 5 months of pregnancy. Before that abortion could be a option. “Whatever earth shown everything”
First white girl that gets pregnant by a black guy in Alabama should be the end of this law. That's the South.
Sure. Now that he’s firing blanks he’s pro-life. Ok.
But then he doesn’t give two cents about them once they’re born.
Per Tony Schwartz: When I worked on The Art of the Deal, and long after, Trump was openly and unequivocally pro-choice. He now opposes abortion purely and only because his base -- and especially Evangelicals -- oppose abortion.
ProLifeIsASham TrumpIsASham HeHasSyphilis
I think he's mistaking Pro-life with Pro-dumb.
BS
You don't get to walk the line on this one. And anyone who believes you are pro-life is lying to themselves.
Is that what he 'signals'? He said it shouldn't include rape, incest or life threatening.
I wonder how many abortions he’s paid for? AbortionBan abortions AlabamaHatesWomen realDonaldTrump
Trump lies again......
Pro life? Hilarious.
Everyone: talk to the women in those regressive states. Encourage them to leave. Help them to leave. Turn that whole region into nothing but a Southern Sausage region. Tell your friends and relatives that the south has not changed and is not a safe place for women.
one word.. hypocrite.
ScumbagTrump pro life? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆🤣🤣only in as much as little humans are raw profit producing products whether in cages or forced incubators and popped out of raped females.
Okay. No.
Hmmm...😐
I would love to know how many abortions he has personally paid for in his lifetime. I am guessing high single digits.
Except when it comes to improving gun control laws.
He's pro whatever gets him re elected so he can't be indicted.
The only life he’s pro is his own.
Pro his own life. He doesn't give a shit about anyone else's.
The Holy Bible part 3 judgment. 2. 248. Each and every human in this whole world would glorifying The Holy Bible on and after June 2019.
The Holy Bible part 3 judgment. 2. 247. Each and every human in this whole world would implement The Holy Bible on and after June 2019.
Except of course when it comes to his mistresses, immigrants, anyone who is LGBTQ, women, etc...but yeah, he’s totally pro-life. 🙄
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
he is strongly get reelected, and it might work.
I agree. There should extenuating circumstances.
Lie of the day
Alabama is ranked: 1 in teen pregnancy 2 in infant mortality 3 in obesity 4 in divorce rate 5 in poverty 5 in federal dollars dependency 45 in economy 45 in education 46 in health care Also, 2 in porn consumption behind Mississippi😅
Only for a few....
ConDon at it again ...tell his cult what they want to hear
Got him reminiscing about his younger days and all his ladies ....
He’s strongly pro HIS life and only HIS life. 24/7... all the Donald.
Crump 🤡 is a strong pro-liar
He knew this before it happened, he’s lying now as always ...the Supreme Court choices, the AG, the senate is all a plan to implement precisely this, were screwed. 2020 is the last stop cafe ...,
I dont think it does i don't think it goes far enough we need bible believing conservative judges on the bench in every court system in America
I'd love to know how many abortions Trump and the rest of GOP members have paid for. Where is Larry Flynt when you need him.
realDonaldTrump is only pro anything that will get him laid pay his bills and get him votes.
Unless the lives are of immigrants, Muslims, those downwind of coal fired power plants are those who get insurance through ACA, then not so much.
Remember when he said he was strongly pro choice? (1999) Remember when he said women who got abortions should be punished? (2016) Trump only says what he thinks helps him. He doesn’t care about people or issues unless he directly benefits from it.
*“strongly pro-life” = advocate for government ownership of women, relegating humans to state property. A country that consents to the choking of a black man for selling loose cigarettes or the relegation of women to state-owned vessels can no longer claim it is a democracy.
The Supreme Court already ruled The Constitution provides a fundamental 'right to privacy' that protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose.
Look at his personal life people and ask the question how many abortions has Donald Trump paid for?
Amy_Siskind SethAbramson funder Ask Broudy’s mistress if Trump is pro-life.
The whole point was that it goes too far! The Alabama bill is intended to distract, while states around the country rip away abortion protections incrementally. Disregard what any R has to say about the Alabama bill, it’s THEIR bill no matter how much they like it.
It would be a great time for all the women who aborted his love children to come forward.
He is such a YUUUGE fking liar. He will say whatever it takes just to get votes!!!
He tried to have 5 innocent young men executed and he’s pardoning a war criminal. He’s not pro-life. He also wanted to abort his own daughter-which the media conveniently forgets.
🐗💩; HES THE ONE THAT NOMINATED;I LIKE 🍺; Like to Drink 🍺; you drink Beer. In a TOWN HALL IN GREEN BAY WISCONSIN. Trump said; ANY WOMAN GHST HAS A ABORTION; Shoould Be PUNISHED=MAY 2016. Trumps not getting off. REPUBLICAN DECIDED; WOMAN WERENT RESPONSIBLE;CHANGED ABORTION LAWS
How Far ? tRump
He is strongly pandering to the evangelical Taliban.
He’s such a liar. He doesn’t believe in, or care about, anything but himself.
How about stop trying to repeal Obamacare?
Feeling out his base , this is going to be a test of executive orders in a week.
Remind me how many minors have already died at the border by being locked in cages indefinitely?
No one for 1 minute believes trump had an educated informed opinion on ANYTHING of any consequence. He clearly is incapable of critical thinking. He only cares about himself.
He’s gone on record before for being pro-choice. He’s pandering to his evangelical base. He does their bidding and they overlook all of his misgivings.
If this guy is 'strongly pro-life'. What happen before became President. You have so many tweets and video's that not true. Why we have such 🤥 for President.
As he beats the war drums against Venezuela Palestine Iran Women
Only because he wants evangelical votes.
The only conversation about women’s healthcare, should be between the Woman and HER chosen Doctor, NOT ignorant politicians!
Do you go sleep with ur door closed? Why do u do that when ur country should leave her door open for all to enter and act as it pleases them? Leave ur doors open while sleeping, traveling on vacation etc. People should enter to help themselves with what u have
The only consistent GOP exception to abortion is when their mistress gets pregnant.
Interesting..it wasn’t that many years ago when he said he was strongly pro-choice.
So he can say nothing left enough?
trump tweets lots of random shit. You don't have to repeat it. If I wanted to read it, I'd read his Twitter feed. BeBetter
i wonder how many kids he would've had if he wasnt such a hypocrite
He is whatever the evangelicals tell him to be. He could care less.
Except if it was Ivanka or Melanie ...right? Hypocrite. Who is using the private servers? Go home
How many abortions did he pay for?
Funny I thought repugs were opposed to government interference?
I'll believe you're pro-life when I see you fight like hell for free healthcare, free school, gun safety, climate change.. You know those things that help the ones already ALIVE!!!!
Well, maybe this week he is anti-abortion, but he has no trouble treating immigrant children like dirt. This is pro-life?
Trump stands for nothing! Who voted for this traitor?
Sure he is. 🙄
realDonaldTrump is strongly pro life, except of course foff all the abortions he has paid for
But he has no problem with immigrant children dying under his watch.
Of course it goes too far. That is the point. Not a single Democrat denounced Ralph Northam's comments about a living child's right to life being ignored while a mom and doc decide on feasibility on whether it will continue to live or die. They are forcing scotus relitigation
Lets ask one of his hoes if he's pro-life.
Having a hard time walking that high wire Donnie?
Except for the abortions he has paid for.
Pro-life as long as that life belongs to a white human born into privilege. The rest of us can rot, as far as he’s concerned.
NO! He's strongly against Abortion. To be ProLife requires caring for humans their entire lives (Matt 25:31-46). realDonaldTrump policy decisions and demands indicate he has no concern for people unless they can provide him some level of financial benefit or perceived power.
How many abortions has he paid for? You just know there are probably a few in his closet...
Something to ponder...The beliefs of some religious/spiritual groups on life & birth say that the soul does not enter the body of a baby until just before its birth (for a myriad of reasons) Is this true? No one can know but perhaps extreme pro-lifers can contemplate.
Unless you’re POC, immigrants, LGBTQIA+, a woman, or anything but a cisgenderwd, CHRISTIAN white male.
Migrants are also alive.
Except for lives of people who have different ideas than he
Being pro-birth doesn't mean being pro-life. If you deny the climate emergency and don't allow measures against global warming and for a less polluted world for future generations,
We all wonder HOW MANY ABORTIONS TRUMP has paid for with his all of his sexual affairs and marital philanderings. I suspect there are many who he paid to have abortions and many he paid to never tell (or he threatened them).
He is pro-Trump only.
Let's ask Marla how pro life he is.
Why do we allow old white men to tell us anything?
Tomi? trump? What's going on with these nut jobs and the Alabama law? You know good and well these goons (and their cult of idiots) never stop short when it comes to cringeworthy conservative lunacy. Something's up and I know it isn't the fear of being called hypocrites.
Says the man who has caused & paid for more abortions than me (0). AbortionRights WomensReproductiveRights
The Republicans are killing the born people by pro-gun, pro-war policy, and the Democrats are killing the unborn people by pro-abortion policy.
Actually, he’s not pro life. He’s pro p:::y.
I’m confused, the pro-life argument “abortion is murder and should be outlawed” seems at odds with arguing for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. How do they reconcile those 2 points of view.
Liar!
Hypocrite. You’re either PROCHOICE OR PROLIFE.
The ONLY thing Lying Donald Is pro is Lying Donald.
Except when his mistresses get pregnant. Then he's all for abortion. In fact, he will force them to get one. The man isn't so much 'pro-life' as 'pro-controlling women'.
The trump family and republicans are perfect examples as to why abortion should be legal
“Now that I’m shooting blanks I am strongly pro-life”
The foundations upon which Roe v Wade was built is a constitutionally questionable 'right to privacy', which the 1973 court all but invented. The great irony is that the solution arrived at is a good one, but it needs to be 'rebuilt' and no one wants to touch it with a bargepole.
FU HIM
President Psychopath says what? LiarInChief
🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
The New York law goes to far! Wheres all the temper tantrums about full term abortion and Infanticide recently put into law in many states!? The baby tissue industry is licking its chops with all the fresh full term baby parts it can now harvest from live 'aborted' humans!
I'm sure he would have been pro-life if one of his many mistresses had gotten pregnant...
This idiot has no memory of his lies‼️😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🐸
He didn't used to be but just another lie
His conversion late in life tells us that the good/mediocre lord has no standards and will readily accept any sack of shit...praise Jesus!
Unless your a Muslim or Democrat, then he’ll do nothing for you.
It's Sunday! Newspapers, editorials, Limbaugh, Hannity take the weekend off. After their say on Monday...... 'Flipper' will be back on the Conservative wave length by mid day.
How many abortions has Trump paid for?
I am pro life too but that diesnt mean a man should be able to tell me what to do with my body .
trump doesnt know what he is. He will be whatever serves the purpose at the moment
Unless they’re minorities, Iranian, New Yorkers, Iraqi!
'Pro-life' he says, as he prepares to pardon ex-soldiers guilty of killing unarmed civilians.
Republicans are pro life until they have to pay for medical insurance for those children. Shameful.
Have the POTUS define prolife. If prolife means lowering mortality rates of mother and infant speak up. Unfortunately very few R’s seem to care about baby and mother once child is born. Or how about before baby is born.
Taking no position. Having no policy or moral compass. “We’ll see what happens.” Trump is weak.
Trump said women should be punished for having abortions, in his Chris Matthews interview .. remember that?
Anti choice
Who is trump , cotton , etc to say take a “life” in these circumstances but not a choice for women -ur morality ur beliefs are not everyone’s —government does not have a say in our patient doctor relationship
Way to spin his good comment into a shitty situation. Reason 104.535.736.894.222.538,902 to hate the media.
He never mentioned the Alabama law.
Those laws are so poorly written they’re doomed w/o addressing abortion. If a fetus is a person, then you don’t age on the anniversary of your birth. You age on the anniversary of your conception. That affects voting, social security, etc... that’s a Supremacy Clause problem.
he's so very very scared of those pink cat hats, eh POTUS? did your numbers drop overnight after Alabama law was signed or something? Can't control your minions?
I believe he thinks “pro-life” refers to his own life...as in paying off mistresses, as well as the abortions they had for him.
He needs to make sure abortions are legal enough so in case he impregnates a porn star he can weasel an abortion and be protected 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Kinda like that republican who resigned after texts of him encouraging his side piece to get an abortion The GOP is pathetic
He's pro choice, according to his own statements from the past.
Oops. If trump says it goes too far, kavanaugh will not vote for roe being overturned.
He cut off medical treatment to a sick nephew because of some petty grudge, but yeah let’s echo this garbage headline into cyberspace.
So when is he signing that executive order outlawing the death penalty?
reasonable. surprised to here this from him
Just realising that there aren't enough in his deranged base to re-elect him in 2020.
Yeah Trump is 'pro-life' but wants Republicans to keep the abortion law. I urge Americans to vote against Trump women especially. What is done to women is wrong and this should vote out the Republicans.
He is not!!!
It doesn’t go far enough, but overturning Roe v Wade is the beginning, not the end
How many mistresses has he forced to have abortions?
Trump’s pro-life? So he must be in favour of universal healthcare then? Wow, what a twist...
WH took a couple days to poll the prelife bill
What a mewling spineless ignoramus. Wants to pretend he’s a tough guy but lives in constant terror of public complaint and mockery.
There should always be an exception for the mother's health and rape.
Ha sure
Hedging his bets.
Love this President! TRUMP2020!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
