Actually?
Donald J. Trump has NEVER been a hardcore Right to Lifer…..
He may have set the Supreme up to throw the policy top the state’s….
And he’s proud of JUST that….
He does NOT support a Federal abortion ban, nor does he support Florida’s 5 week ban…..
Hmmmmm?
Former President Donald Trump says that, if he wins a second term, he wants to make IVF treatment free for women, but did not detail how he would fund his plan or precisely how it would work.
“I’m announcing today in a major statement that under the Trump administration, your government will pay for — or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for — all costs associated with IVF treatment,” he said at an event in Michigan. “Because we want more babies, to put it nicely.”
IVF treatments are notoriously expensive, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars for a single round. Many women require multiple rounds and there is no guarantee of success.
The announcement comes as Trump has been under intense criticism from Democrats for his role in appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion in the country. The decision has led to a wave of restrictions across Republican-led states, including proposals that have threatened access to IVF by trying to define life as beginning at conception. IVF relies on the creation of multiple embryos, some of which may be destroyed.
Abortion is expected to be a major motivator for Democrats and women this November, and was a dominant theme of the party’s national convention last week, including Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech as she accepted her party’s nomination…..
Told ya So…….
Trump Running Scared on Abortion Rights
Dan Pfeiffer: “Two related things happened in the 2024 campaign yesterday. First, a bevy of new polls came out, which showed Vice President Harris taking the lead nationally and in the swing states.”
“Second, Trump swerved out of his way to rewrite his position on abortion. At a rally, Trump said that his administration would protect IVF treatments and mandate that government or insurance companies pay for such treatments. Notably, neither Trump nor his campaign offered a single detail on how this would be accomplished…”
“Later, in an interview with NBC, Trump implied that he would vote for an amendment in Florida guaranteeing access to abortion up until the point of fetal viability.”
“Now, this is a dramatic shift considering Trump is the person most responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade. At every opportunity, Trump brags about his role in stripping a constitutional right from more than half the country.”
Politicalwire
Speaking of contempt for people you actually need to vote for. you. Read this from Political Wire…..
Sen. J.D. Vance said that professional women “choose a path to misery” when they prioritize careers over having children in a September 2021 podcast interview in which he also claimed men in America were “suppressed” in their masculinity, The Guardian reports.
The vice-presidential candidate said of women like his classmates at Yale Law School that “pursuing racial or gender equity is like the value system that gives their life meaning… but they all find that that value system leads to misery.”
Vance also sideswiped Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a one-time Somali refugee, claiming she had shown “ingratitude” to America, and that she “would be living in a craphole” had she not moved to the US.
Where are the right wingers,particularly the “ evangelicals” who claim any abortion is murder?
Their hero appears to not agree.
What sayeth thee?
They pulled JD Vance off the couch to “clarify” Trump’s comments about abortion today.
Their hero has been pimping them from the jump
And they like being pimped.
Indeed that’s the only thing I sort of like about Trump.
He treats these Right Wing clowns with the contempt they deserve.
He in effect tells them that if they dont like what he says to “sit down and STFU.I own you and you will do what you’re told.”
And while Jed Vance his VP running mate has opposed IVF,
Not only does Trump support it, he wants to make it Free!
Presumably at the federal government’s expense?
What a big government guy he be!
Republicans are all for mandated health care now I see.
Now Trump says he’ll vote no on the FL abortion amendment.
One day after saying he’d vote in favor of it.
Ask him again tomorrow

Which ever way the wind blows…..
The real question is where is Trump voting…In Florida he can’t vote because he is a convicted felon.
Ah BDog?
Former President Donald Trump voted early in the Florida Republican primary on Wednesday, casting his ballot at a polling location near his home in Palm Beach. But Trump’s participation in early voting offers a stark contrast to some of his previous criticisms of the practice….
More….
Walking out of the polling site on Wednesday, Trump called it a “great honor to vote” and praised the “fantastic job” done by the poll workers.
Florida law doesn’t prohibit white collar felons from voting.
