A top pro-life group has responded to former President Trump’s new position on abortion and they aren’t happy about it.
The Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America has denounced Trump suggesting this is an issue only to be decided by the states and the ‘will of the people’ in those states.
Here’s more from The Blaze:
But a leading pro-life group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, found Trump’s position to be wanting.
“We are deeply disappointed in President Trump’s position,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America.
“Unborn children and their mothers deserve national protections and national advocacy from the brutality of the abortion industry. The Dobbs decision clearly allows both states and Congress to act,” she explained. “Saying the issue is ‘back to the states’ cedes the national debate to the Democrats who are working relentlessly to enact legislation mandating abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy. If successful, they will wipe out states’ rights.”
I completely agree that the unborn deserve national protections and that abortion should be outlawed nationally. I love the idea of states’ rights for most things, but not when it comes to protecting the life of the unborn. Clearly some states believe it is okay to rip children out of the womb and murder them and that is absolutely criminal. When you have such a dichotomy of laws like this, the federal government must step in and protect life.
I get why Trump chose the political position he did and while it may help him win, it doesn’t help protect these innocent babies being murdered in the womb.
