The overturning of Roe v. Wade was a constitutional victory as well as a moral one. The federal government has no business getting involved in abortion. Of course the federal government is involved in a lot of things it shouldn’t be involved in (according to the Tenth Amendment), so I guess it was not unusual that it would be involved in abortion. It is a difficult issue, and pro-life Republicans need to proceed carefully when speaking about it. I believe that the ‘pro-life’ position is the correct one, but again, we need to be careful when we speak. A Constitutional amendment outlawing abortion would be as unconstitutional as Roe v. Wade. This is truly a matter that should be left to the states.<\/p>\n
On Monday, The Daily Wire<\/a> posted an article about a recent interview of President Trump by NBC\u2019s Kristen Welker.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n \u201cThe radical people on this are really the Democrats that say after five months, six months, seven months, eight months, nine months, and even after birth, you\u2019re allowed to terminate the baby,\u201d Trump told<\/a> Welker during the interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMr. President, Democrats aren\u2019t saying that,\u201d Welker responded.<\/strong><\/p>\n Moments later Trump said, \u201cI said with Hillary Clinton when we had the debate, I made a statement, \u2018rip the baby out of the womb\u2019 in the ninth month. You\u2019re allowed to do that, and you shouldn\u2019t be allowed to do that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAgain, no one is arguing for that. That\u2019s not a part of anyone\u2019s platform, Mr. President,\u201d Welker said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Besides the untold number<\/a> of abortion activists who advocate for abortion on demand up to birth, a slew of states currently allow abortion at any point in the pregnancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n Alaska, Colorado, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. all allow<\/a>\u00a0abortion with no gestational limits.<\/strong><\/p>\n While high-profile Democrats often hedge on whether they support any gestational limits on abortion, some have come right out and admitted they support abortion up to the moment of birth.<\/strong><\/p>\n Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) was direct about his stance during a Fox News segment in June.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIs there a cutoff for you before [the due date]?\u201d\u00a0host Shannon Bream asked<\/a> Cardin.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo, to me, it\u2019s a reproductive, it\u2019s a health care decision. It\u2019s up to women to make that decision,\u201d Cardin responded.<\/strong><\/p>\n If President Trump had not had the information at hand about abortion, the viewers would have been left with the impression that he was not telling the truth. Truth is only one on many ways to fight the abortion lobby.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The overturning of Roe v.
