We're screwed with you as a national party if you refuse to bend from your righteous stance on abortion.


You are asking people to bend on a strong moral belief, when there is no guarantee doing so will improve anything.

Many of us care more about having to answer for what we bend too.

You do you, but you are no one to ask anyone to bend on this.

And let me clarify. I do understand the need to be strategic about how to make positive gains on this issue. This is why I said Lindsay Graham was a f*cking idiot. That was clearly not the play there, especially considering Republicans are in the minority and didn't even have the votes.

There is a time and place, and changing the cultural Zeitgeist on the issue is part of it. What Trump is doing here is showing his hand, that he has become frustrated with social conservatives and pro-lifers and that we need to begin to abandon this issue.

And meanwhile the democrats will win every election and you evangelicals will have nothing.

There are times to stand on your principles and there are times to stop the descent of this country.

say it slow for you as well Aubie.

When you screw the GOP the Dems win and they will push for and allow for many more abortions.

So I guess we need to stay together, keep the issue as is and not piss off the base.

What a powerful force for middle and lower class Americans Trump could have continued to be if he could have only kept from acting like a child when someone angered him.

Country is gone, but my morals aren't. Some issues are worth not bending on. I compromise on a lot if issues, nit murder though.

The problem is our side has sucked at articulating the issue. Here is Trump straight up using their talking points and gaslightong us on the issue.

Dobbs was a pretty mild ruling all things considered. RvW was a garbage legal ruling, even RBG said as much.

Yet, here is Trump pointing the finger at social conservatives saying "you got what you wished for" BS.

So in the meantime, you're hell bent on allowing hell on Earth to continue because you can't swallow your pride.

Pretty damn selfish.

No one is asking you or anyone in your faith to have abortions. Yet you can't seem to allow others to make their own choices. You're no better than the far left. Forcing others to cave to your will or to hell with them.

Do you seriously believe women that are raped should be forced to have the baby? I certainly hope you never have a daughter or grand daughter that has to deal with that.

Yeah, wishing to stop a genocide is selfish. That maybe the dumbest thing I have read today, anD I have been on reddit.

That's generous.

This board doesn't think women should have the right to vote lol.

I've seen countless people on here argue that women are genuinely too emotional to vote.

I wonder if Trump believes the hype, that he IS the party… that he is the policy

I also want to hear DeSantis’s thoughts as well

That baby did not commit the crime and should not be murdered for another person's action. The rapist should be jailed and charged, but the baby is an innocent party.

At least he's not a hypocrite.

If you think abortion is murder, how can you justify a raped woman getting an abortion?

Can someone who is against abortion but for abortion in the case of rape explain this to me?

I'm not pro-life but I'm trying to understand how it's not hypocritical.

FIFY. Should be executed via hanging in public. We could stop alot of rapes if we actually did this.

Bending on principles have proven not to be the answer. If killing innocent children is your principles than that's on you. To me your principles are apart of the decent of this country.

Pretty easy.

I don't consider abortion to be murder until you get to the late term crap.

I hate abortion but not having any exceptions (at this point in time) is dumb. The establishment removes our rights via incrementalism, lets use the same tactics in the other direction.
