Deplorables are suddenly pro-abortion to salvage their election chances, proving it was never about "protecting life"

(We knew that already, of course.)

Thoughts and prayers.

Vance put his foot in it yesterday, saying Trump would veto an abortion ban. The GOP base isn't going to like that one bit.

Note that Vance also claimed Trump has said publicly he would veto the ban, which in fact he hasn't. Surprise surprise.

Damn lying liars and the lies they tell.

Deplorables do not have "deeply held beliefs" about anything other than themselves. With the abortion issue, they just needed evangelical votes and a morality fig leaf.

But now the fig leaf has been stripped away, and they're standing there naked being subjected to the morality equivalent of small penis humiliation.

A very fitting fate...

The fallout has officially arrived!

‘It Is Not the Job of the Pro-Life Movement to Vote for President Trump.’

Trump once said he had “great admiration” for Lila Rose’s work. Now he’s lost her support.

when your job depends on pacifying enough radicals to get you into it, but there's a big chance you'll lose it anyway if you DO support them, it's a game of numbers: "how many can i con in one group or the other?" You've only yourself to blame when nutjobs try to take you politically hostage to their demands.

You’ve been arguing online that Trump and Vance’s position on abortion has made it “impossible” for anti-abortion voters to support them. What was the breaking point for you?

[My] direct quote is that “they’re making it impossible” for us. This is an active thing. The recent statements that they have been making — increasingly pro-abortion statements — and the positions that they are choosing to take are making it untenable for pro-life voters to get out the vote for them. This is, unfortunately, the path that they’ve chosen.

So just to be clear, as things currently stand, you don’t plan to vote for Trump. Is that correct?

I am going to see how the next few weeks unfold.

so she's dangling her voting bloc over your head, donold... who you gonna piss off more than the other and can you persuade her that the real message will be 'I'm just saying this but will ban abortions anyway" whilst trying to convince the other side of your base "no, really really reallllllllllllly, I won't ban abortion"?

have fun!

 

[RoryN]

What a shit show this is turning out to be!

 

[butters]

According to NBC News' Sahil Kapur, "The backlash from anti-abortion advocates was fierce, with some warning that the Republican presidential nominee was risking losing support from a key bloc of the party's base. Alarmed by what she saw, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the influential anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, called Trump on Thursday, (August 29) to ask for clarity on his comments, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation."

in a panic, it appears trump told her:

"he didn’t state a position on an amendment on his home state’s ballot this fall, which would bar restrictions on abortion before fetal viability, around the 24th week of pregnancy."

he's stuck between a rock and a hard place with republican voters on this, with a canyon between them lined with sharpened stakes.

Dannenfelser, Kapur reports, told Trump it was "imperative that you're clear because there's confusion now that you may be in support of this."

During that NBC News interview, Trump also said, "I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks" on abortion policy.

his magat base didn't like that

On X, formerly Twitter, Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins posted, "My phone is blowing up with @SFLAction volunteers who no longer will door knock for President Trump if this is not corrected. With polls neck and neck, this is the last thing we need right now to defeat Kamala's pro-abortion extremism."

so, trump being trump flipped onto his back Friday, saying instead that he'll vote "no" to the amendment on the ballot because democrats abort babies up through 9 months. *face palm*

all those trumplican politicians and mouthpieces saying abortion isn't a big issue with voters (and that'd be whichever side you fall) are more full of shit than a bulimic with constipation

Reproductive rights are so major that Communist Candidate Trump now wants the Fedrule Gummint to fund IVF procedures.

It was never about babies!

It’s always been about power!

He's the most outspoken Lit member when it comes to being anti-abortion.

He was also the member who spent the most effort trolling me for getting a vasectomy.

That's the type of religious asshole he is: no abortion, no birth control, wants Evangelical Christianity forced upon everyone.

So don’t have an abortion.

It's creepy when men on the PB take on female avatars solely for the purpose of getting attention.

Instead of “pro life movement” why don’t they just call it what it is: The He-Man Woman Haters Club.

 

[ll74]

Pro lifers are now voting for Jill Stein because Republicans have become pro choice

 

[Saint_Ann]

So don’t have an abortion.

I see what you did there. Your brilliance must be why they keep you around.

Pretty much every pro choice person says this to pretty much every pro life wing nut. But they would rather deny everyone’s rights instead of taking responsibility for their own.

Seems obvious that your lack of brilliance is why they keep you around.

You don't seem too concerned about it.

I'm not in the military or law enforcement so not really anything for me to DO. Unlike you, my CONCERN will do nothing to change those things from happening. What are you DOING for those dying children?

So you've stopped supporting Trump?
