It has been noted that former President Donald Trump recently told a massive lie that Democrats believe in “executing the baby after birth” as he made his hyped announcement of his position on abortion via Mediaite.
Trump has been promising a statement on abortion for quite some time and made good on that promise Monday morning with a four-and-a-half-minute Truth Social video that stressed heavily into the well-worn and false attack on Democrats that they believe in legally “executing the baby” after it has been born.
He bragged about ending Roe v. Wade and appeared to take the position that states should decide limits on abortion — while urging them to take measures that would still allow Republicans to win elections:
Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights, especially since I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars both sides wanted and in fact demanded be ended. Row v Wade. They wanted it ended.
It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones are in this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth.
And that’s exactly what it is. The baby is born. The baby is executed after birth is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that.
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, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state.
Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others. And that’s what they will be at the end of the day. This is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart or in many cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself. Do what’s right for your children. Do what’s right for our country, and vote. So important to vote.
At the end of the day, it’s all about will of the people. That’s where we are right now. And that’s what we want, the will of the people. I want to thank the six justices Chief Justice John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch. Incredible people for having the courage to allow this long term, hard fought battle to finally end this 50 year battle over Roe v Wade, took it out of the federal hands and brought it into the hearts, minds and vote of the people in each state. It was really something.
Now it’s up to the states to do the right thing. Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. You must follow your heart of this issue, but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture and in fact, to save our country, which is currently, and very sadly, a nation in decline.
