Seth Leibsohn: Getting It Wrong on Abortion

View descriptionShare

President Donald Trump was interviewed by Kristen Welker on Meet the Press last Sunday—and the interchange was instructive on many levels, including Welker’s biases and distortions, stating that Democrats do not support late term abortions.

But this is literally the Democratic Party’s position on abortion. They oppose any time—or gestation-limit—on abortion.  

But President Trump needs to get this right, too.  At one point in the interview Trump said he supported state flexibility on abortion laws. He also called the human heartbeat legislation in Florida “a terrible thing” and “a terrible mistake” while he would not state where he would put limits, or if he would sign legislation with limits.

President Ronald Reagan wrote that “We cannot play God; It is not for us to decide who is worthy to live and who is not.”  That is what the Democrats do. If Donald Trump wants to receive the trust of the pro-life community, as he earned before, he’ll have to be much more clear and much more decisive.
