Abortion and Donald Trump

 Abortion and Donald Trump


The pro-life community is in somewhat of an uproar over Donald Trump's recent statements concerning abortion. I think pro-lifers would do well to consider what damage Kamala Harris the would due to the progress accomplished by President Trump. Pro-lifers should not forget his nominations to the United States Supreme Court. Harris would certainly not make any federal nominations or appointments favorable to the pro-life movement.


The real wisdom of Trumps’s position on abortion and the federal government was best expressed by J.D.Vance. Vance told NBC, "Donald Trump's view is that we want the individual states and their individual cultures and their unique political sensibilities to make these decisions because we do not want a non-stop federal conflict over this issue."


That is truly a sensible policy. The laws for abortion are now decided by state governments. The federal government needs to address many other critical national problems, the border problem, crime, drugs and human trafficking in particular. Abortion is a now an issue for the states to address. And by the way, it is something for the church to address. Too many calling themselves christians are pro-choice. Church: clean up your own house.
