Members phkrause Posted September 18 Members Share Posted September 18 ⚡ Trump slams GOP's abortion messaging In an hourlong interview with new "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker, Trump criticized Republicans for pushing abortion bans without exceptions and vowed to bring "both sides" together on one of the country's most polarizing issues. Why it matters: Trump remains the prohibitive favorite to win the GOP nomination, but his comments on abortion — including his labeling of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' six-week ban as "terrible" — are likely to infuriate conservative activists. Trump refused to commit to signing a federal abortion ban but mused that a 15-week ban "seems to be a number that people are talking about right now." "I would sit down with both sides and I'd negotiate something, and we'll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years," he told Welker. Other highlights: On the 2020 election: Trump said he did not listen to lawyers and advisers who told him there was no evidence of widespread fraud "because I didn't respect them." He added that he does not believe the U.S. has "much of a democracy right now," citing his indictments and negative media coverage. On impeachment: Trump denied speaking to House Speaker McCarthy about the decision to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden, saying his Republican allies in Congress are "more proactive than I am." On Ukraine: Trump expressed appreciation for recent compliments from Russian President Vladimir Putin and vowed to negotiate a "fair deal for everybody" to bring the war to an end. He did not elaborate on whether that meant allowing Russia to keep Ukrainian territory it has illegally seized.

Members phkrause Posted September 19 Members Share Posted September 19 Indiana attorney general sues hospital system over privacy of Ohio girl who traveled for abortion Indiana’s attorney general has sued the state’s largest hospital system, claiming it violated patient privacy laws when a doctor publicly shared the story of an Ohio girl who traveled to Indiana for an abortion. Read more. Why this matters: The lawsuit, filed Friday in Indianapolis federal court, marked Attorney General Todd Rokita’s latest attempt to seek disciplinary legal action against Dr. Caitlin Bernard. Her account of a 10-year-old rape victim traveling to Indiana to receive abortion drugs became a flashpoint in the abortion debate days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer. Rokita, a Republican, is stridently anti-abortion and Indiana was the first state to approve abortion restrictions after the court’s decision. The near-total abortion ban just recently took effect in the state. Indiana’s medical licensing board reprimanded Bernard in May, saying she didn’t abide by privacy laws by talking publicly about the girl’s treatment. The decision drew criticism from medical groups and others who called it a move to intimidate doctors.

Members phkrause Posted September 21 Members Share Posted September 21 Trump calls DeSantis abortion ban ‘a terrible mistake,’ sparking anger from some key Republicans Donald Trump is facing new blowback from anti-abortion activists for refusing to commit to national abortion restrictions and for calling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signing of a six-week ban on the procedure a “terrible mistake.” Read more. Why this matters: Trump’s direct attack on DeSantis, whom he’s long treated as his chief GOP rival, could give the Florida governor new fodder as he tries to regain momentum in his campaign and solidify his second-place standing to the former president. Trump’s alliance with anti-abortion groups, which helped drive his victory in 2016, grew tense following Sunday’s interview, in which the former president also declined to say whether he would support a federal ban on abortion. Trump says the Supreme Court’s decision gave conservatives room to negotiate new restrictions. Banning abortion at six weeks of pregnancy, as Florida enacted earlier this year, is unpopular, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted in June.

Members phkrause Posted Tuesday at 12:57 AM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 12:57 AM 📺 Spot of the week: Beshear's abortion attack Democrats are hitting Republicans over abortion policy even in the reddest of states — as illustrated by this new attack ad from Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear against Republican rival Daniel Cameron. "This is to you, Daniel Cameron. To tell a 12-year-old girl she must have the baby of her stepfather who raped her is unthinkable," a girl named Hadley says to the camera. The ad began airing Wednesday across broadcast TV in Kentucky. Beshear is running for re-election against Cameron, the state's attorney general. Polls show Beshear narrowly ahead in the red-state contest — the highest-profile election taking place this November. Zoom out: Kentucky's abortion law is among the strictest in the country, only allowing an exception if the mother's life is at risk. This week, Cameron clarified his position on abortion rights, telling a Kentucky radio station he supported amending the state law to allow for exceptions for rape and incest. What they're saying: After the ad aired, Cameron put out a videotaped statement accusing Beshear of running "the most despicable campaign in Kentucky history." The bottom line: The fact that Republicans are running away from hardline positions on abortion in a deeply conservative state like Kentucky is a sign of how politically problematic the issue has become for the GOP. This is the second ad the Beshear campaign has aired attacking Cameron on abortion in the general election campaign. In red states like Kentucky, it's usually Democrats who are on the defensive. The tables have turned dramatically since Roe v. Wade was overturned, which allowed right-wing GOP lawmakers to set abortion policy in conservative states.

All those support a womans right to murder her baby as some here do,shouldn't worry to much. If a democrat gets into the White House 2024 election it will be back to making it legal again up to the moment of birth,and a sigh of relief comfort care denial will be part of "Choice" JUst hang tight,a democrat will be voted in if not sooner , later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
