t all legal Scholars both sides wanted and in fact demanded be ended row v Wade all legal Scholars on both sides is a trumpian lie of course in fact most legal Scholars like most people in the United States of America very much wanted to preserve women's Reproductive Rights established in Row versus Wade 51 years ago Donald Trump then announced today a new position position on abortion which he was afraid to announce during the Republican Presidential primaries because it could have cost him Rep
ublican votes in those primaries my view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint the states will determine by Vote or legislation or perhaps both Donald Trump's live there of course is that everybody wanted to leave abortion up to the individual states that is a lie most Americans did not want to have different abortion laws in each state and now Donald Trump is taking full credit for making Reproductive Rights impossible for onethird of American women The
Washington Post reports nearly one in three women ages 15 to 44 live in a state where abortion is banned or severely restricted today Donald Trump said in effect that he fully supports every abortion provided in the state of California because that's California's choice and at the same time Donald Trump fully supports a fiveyear prison sentence for anyone involved in an abortion in the state of Idaho that five-year prison term for involvement in an abortion in Idaho was upheld by three Trump app

am is doing a great disservice to the Republican party and to our country at first he wanted no abortions under any circumstances then he was up to six weeks where you're allowed abortion now he's up to 15 weeks Lindsey Graham is considering himself lucky tonight that Donald Trump did not give out his cell phone number this time the way Donald Trump did during his first presidential campaign when he was angry at l Graham I wrote the number down I don't know if it's the right number let's try it
202 228 I don't know maybe it's you know it's three four years ago so maybe it's an old number 202 228 so I don't know give it a shot Trump voters gave it a shot and Lindsey Graham had to get a new cell phone number and has spent every day of his life since than living in abject fear of Donald Trump Donald Trump also said this in his rebuke of lindsy Graham today many good Republicans lost elections because of this issue and people like Lindsey Graham that are unrelenting are handing Democrats t
heir dream of the house senate and perhaps even the presidency Donald Trump is right of course that the repeal of Row versus Wade is one of the issues that will defeat Donald Trump in the election especially now that Donald Trump is announcing that abortion for him is just a political calculation but he is wrong to believe that he can teach Ardent abortion opponents who believe that all abortion is murder that abortion is really just a political issue that the Republican position on abortion sho
uld just be a political calculation it should not be driven by factors like the rights of women medical science or morality just politics that is now the official Trump position on abortion rights just a political calculation no principles involved the Biden Harris campaign posted this video today about Amanda and Josh zasi a Texas couple who attended this year's State of the Union Address by President Biden after what they endured in Texas thanks to Donald Trump this is one of our Willow boxes

controls in Congress have put forward bills that could ban fertility treatments and that the speaker of the house he empowered is one of the strongest supporters for a national abortion ban in the nation Let There Be No Illusion if Donald Trump is elected and the mega republicans in Congress put a National Abortion ban on the Resolute desk Trump will sign it into law I am determined to restore the federal protections of Row versus Wade the fundamental right to choose for women will once again be
the law of the land if you give me and vice president Harris a democratic Congress that is EXA actly what we will do Trump is simply lying there was no ground swell of support in America for overturning Row in fact support for row is higher today in America than it has ever been the real truth is Trump made a political deal in 2016 he promised to appoint a court that would get rid of row and he had to make good on that debt so he did it was never about public policy or what was right or what Tr
ump believed it was always about politics it was always about politics and vice president Harris said this today if he were to be put back in a position where he could sign off on a law he would sign off on a National Abortion ban let's be very clear about that and that obviously makes the contrast between Joe Biden and Donald Trump quite clear hey everyone MSNBC has a new and improved app you'll get real time alerts and Analysis live blogs in-depth essays video highlights and the best 2024 elec
