Trump promises abortion rights will be decided by states if re-elected, sidestepping national ban by Snejana Farberov Former President Donald Trump declined to endorse a national abortion ban Monday, instead saying that abortion laws should be left to the states. “My view is now that we have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state,” Trump said in a video message posted to his Truth Social page. He didn’t say after how many weeks of pregnancy he believes abortion should be banned. https://nypost.com/2024/04/08/us-news/trump-promises-abortion-rights-will-be-decided-by-states-if-re-elected-sidestepping-national-ban/ .

As We Barrel Headlong Into Trump's First Criminal Trial, Biased Judge Merchan Releases Jury Questions Nope. Never heard of him. That’s the answer Merchan is apparently seeking. He will boot any prospective panelists if they show any sign of bias I almost want to say no; I’ve been living in a cave for the last decade, I have no feelings of any kind about the oncoming proceedings. Obviously, judges don’t want to seat biased jurors, but sometimes the lengths they resort to are almost comical. Who in the United States doesn’t have an opinion on Donald Trump, one way or the other? https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/04/09/as-we-barrel-headlong-into-trumps-first-criminal-trial-biased-judge-merchan-releases-jury-questions-n2172498

Since Daz has (dutifully) spun what President Trump clearly stated as his opinion, it might be best if we posted his announcement again. Take the four minutes and listen to the truth. .

I would point out to the board, that in his seven (childish) responses to this new thread that clearly outlines President Trump's positions, Billstime has not once mentioned his repeated lie about the President's position on the use of IVF Not surprising of course.

He is incapable of performing the duties of President.

Donald Trump has finally weighed in with an official position on abortion heading into the 2024 election, and it's probably going to surprise some people. For at least a year, many Trump influencers have argued that a compromise on abortion is necessary to beat Joe Biden. Often framed as "taking the issue off the table," they've claimed that state-level bans are bad electoral politics and that a 15 to 20-week national ban is the right position to offer middle-ground to independent voters. I've always argued against that, for reasons I'll get to momentarily, but I'm happy to say that Trump has taken the correct position. Not surprisingly, those same people are now proclaiming Trump's statement as "brilliant." It is what it is, and frankly, I don't care. The right position is the right position, and I'm glad he took it. Why is it the right position? There are multiple reasons. One, there was no actual federal compromise to be had. Democrats would never agree to anything but a total re-codification of Roe with protections for abortion until birth in states that want it. Pushing for a 15 to 20-week federal ban would have been taking the bait and provided a multitude of fodder for Biden and company to claim Republicans want to "ban" abortion. Two, as a practical matter, I believe more lives are saved by having six-week bans in some states than a broad federal standard of 15 to 20 weeks (which again, would never be agreed to by Democrats anyway). The vast majority of abortions occur at 12 weeks or under, which makes those six-week bans very effective at limiting the total number of abortions compared to allowing most abortions to happen in all states. Third, the long-term outlook is important, and if Republicans agree to a re-federalization of the abortion issue, it will be just a matter of time before Democrats gain enough votes to take out the filibuster and pass an "abortion rights" bill that undoes every victory since Dobbs. The GOP must stand strong on the position that it's a state issue with compromises on that. Some states will keep abortion legal until birth, but that's a fight that needs to be fought within that state. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/04/08/controversy-of-the-day-donald-trump-just-took-a-position-on-abortion-n2172462

Sorry Arizona, Sorry Georgia. RNC Chair: GOP to Step Up Poll Watching in November, 'Thousands of Lawyers' Will Be Present In a recent interview, the chair of the Republican National Committee, Michael Whatley, announced plans for Republicans to "be in the room" when votes are cast and counted in November. The goal is to prevent any repeat of the controversies that plagued the 2020 election. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2024/04/08/rnc-chair-to-step-up-poll-watching-in-november-n2172464 .

Joe Biden Ignores Supreme Court, Unveils Plan for Even More Student Loan Forgiveness to Lure Young Voters Conservatives love to say that if it weren't for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all. Double standards sure do seem to be alive and well for Democrats. For the last three years, Joe Biden has cherry-picked the laws he likes to enforce and the ones he doesn't. The border is proof of that. Most of them usually involve the prosecution of his chief political rival, Donald Trump, or some other Republican. But in an election year, it's the votes, Stupid. Now, it's not a law that is separating Joe Biden from votes, but a Supreme Court decision. But whatever the case, Joe Biden has decided to blow it off. https://redstate.com/beckynoble/2024/04/08/joe-biden-ignores-supreme-court-unveils-plan-for-even-more-student-loan-forgiveness-n2172465

More Truth, that the feeble posters here cannot face. Former President Trump announced an official position on the issue of abortion. In a campaign video released on Monday, Trump signaled strong support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and said that he believes the issue of abortion, post-Dobbs decision, should be left up to the states. Trump said, Trump noted his support for exceptions in cases of *****, rape, and risk to the life of the mother, which are notably not mentioned in the Republican Party platform, although it has not been revised since the time of the Dobbs decision to reflect new realities in the legal landscape. https://redstate.com/brutalbrittany/2024/04/08/trumps-abortion-announcement-may-be-influenced-by-this-gop-mega-donor-n2172466
