Like many Republicans, independents – and Democrats – President Trump is a pro-lifer. He is joined in that belief by most Republican leaders and a sprinkling of Democrat leaders. Abortion is arguably the most significant moral issue of our day. It is an understatement to say that it is a highly emotional issue with very strong feelings on both sides.
It is not a simple pro and con issue. – abortion at any time for any reason versus a total ban on all abortions for any reason. The public has varying beliefs regarding abortion – such as when an abortion can take place, procedures used or medical necessity.
The general pro-life view is that an abortion should only take place where there is a compelling necessity – such as the life of the mother, rape or incest. It should never be considered for questions of convenience, economics or simple desire – abortion-on-demand, as they put it.
Pro-lifers believe that the fetus in the womb is a human being with all the rights and protections of a moral and just society. Pro-lifers reject the illogical and scientifically inaccurate description of the fetus as an integral “part of a woman’s body” over which she has exclusive right to keep or discard – with all the moral vaue of getting a haircut or clipping fingernails.
Even though past presidents have described themselves as pro-lifers, they have too often dealt with the issue by avoidance rather than activity – lip service over policy. In the modern era, only President Reagan was an active abortion critic. Regardless of their stated stand on the issue, no President has ever participated in or even attended the annual pro-life demonstration in Washington. In fact, it was newsworthy when Vice President Pence spoke at the rally in recent years.
That all changed this year.
For the first time ever, a President of the United States attended the rally to underscore his commitment to pro-life policies. In view of Trump’s view on the subject — and his policies and appointments that clearly established his view – it should not have been surprising that he would underscore his commitment to the pro-life agenda by speaking at the rally.
The left reacted as if Trump was creating new controversy. How could he weigh-in on the issue in such an obvious manner? FOX News regular, Juan Williams personified the reaction of the pro-abortion left. He accused Trump of intentionally using his appearance to divide the nation. He should have stayed out of the issue. After all, there are lots of people who favor abortion and it is “the law of the land.” Williams – as a black media personality — should be one of the last to need reminding that slavery, too, was once “the law of the land.”
In Williams view, no president has ever done such a dastardly thing. Williams did not actually call it “dastardly,” but from the tone of his rant, the word is not an inappropriate description. That seems to be the strategy of the left. Do not talk about abortion. Do not debate it. And above all, do not show all those images of all those crushed skulls and dismembered bodies.
For those of us who believe that life in the womb is an imbued with what we call inalienable rights, it is as fitting and proper for Trump to put his belief on the record as it is for him to fight for policies that would make abortions EXTREMELY rare. As a pro-lifer, myself, I applaud Trump for standing tall on the issue.
So, there ‘tis.
I have never voted for a Dummycrap, even in years pas of Bill Clinton or Jimmy carter. The Current crop of Idiots from Wood Chuck Shumer to Nasty Nancy Piglousey, Allways on Crack A.O., Bernie Commie Sandwich and China Joe Bite me Biden are all in freaking LaLa Land.
I believe it is a person from the time of conception and I do not like abortion of any kind rape or incest because there are a lot of people out here who would adopt a child because their spouse the woman is Barron and cannot have any children and they would love to have a child no matter what race or color it is just as long as they have a child that’s one of the reasons why I am against abortion the other reason is it is against gods will too do that please just remember I think it is murder I also wish actors and actresses should not put their two cents in it like we’re gonna follow you you’re an actor you’re playing a part that’s all you’re doing I just see you as another phony Person so stop the abortion is murder just remember that you’re murdering a child and innocent child and you’re destroying a soul and that is against God
Charger those that do abortions, with murder, then expend their medical license , then put them in jail for murder, punish them as murders.
Thank you Mr. President.
All Glory to Jesus Christ!!! Amen o
Practicing what he says. Thank you, Mr. President !!!!!!!
Juan Williams is an evil sellout fool who does not know God and therefore can not undertand that it is God who creates life. And the minuet or second a womwn is pregnant shes carry a beautiful baby thats alive, a life that God has a plan and a purpose for. So he along with all the others that aadvocate and support the killing of Gods preacious creation, will face God Judgment. and will pay with the lost of their souls.
Juan Williams is a bumbling liberal clown. Fox seems to have him on set for comic relief. I really don’t care what the man has to say….about ANYTHING.
With that being said, I think you gave Juan a little too much “air time” in this article…
I applaud Trump for standing tall on pretty much ALL the issues I’ve seen put before him. He may not have the answer “today” on any particular item but when he gets an answer, he puts it out there straight and stands by it.
I think that’s why the American right – myself included – loves him; none of that mealy-mouthed milk-toast crap you get from most other politicians. And the taller he stands the more the Demorrhoids and their Lying Left media lapdogs scream. LOVE IT!!
Unfortunately President Trump is criticized for EVERYTHING he says or does. In a country where we have freedom of speech, whether the president is in favor of something or against something, the press and news commentators have something negative to say. I applaude President Trump for speaking directly to the American public with his thoughts and beliefs. This country has never been so safe or prosperous as it is under his leadership.
It matters, because God is real and He is pro-life. This battle is not left vs right but good vs evil. We must stand up for good or be taken captive by evil. There was no doubt where President Trump stood when debating Hillary why should there be one now?
How can you murder anything that does not have a birth certificate?
