Trump Faces Big Rift with Pro-Lifers After Opposing Heartbeat Laws
(Worthy News) – Former President Trump’s comments on abortion laws are drawing fire from pro-lifers.
On “Meet the Press” Sunday, host Kristen Welker pressed Trump on whether he’d sign a federal law banning abortion at 15-weeks.
The GOP frontrunner for the 2024 presidential nomination refused to commit to a number and said some Republicans need to compromise. He also criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for signing a “Heartbeat Protection Act” which “prohibits abortions once the unborn child has a detectible heartbeat,” somewhere around the sixth week of development.
“Desanctis is willing to sign a five-week or six-week ban… I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake,” Trump said. “I think the Republicans speak very inarticulately about this subject. I watch some of them without the exceptions etc. etc. I said, other than certain parts of the country you’re not going to win on this issue, but you will win on this issue when you come up with the right number of weeks because Democrats don’t want to be radical on the issue, most of them, some do.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
