Donald Trump, Abortion, and Big Eva

Interestingly, Trump’s statement is not that much of a departure from what he’s previously said about abortion since 2015. He has supported including three exceptions in abortion laws that virtually all national Republicans have agreed on for decades. Furthermore, his public pitch for overturning Roe mostly relied on two arguments: it ran roughshod over the states, and most conservative and even some liberal legal scholars thought it was a poorly argued decision. As Center for Baptist Leadership Executive Director William Wolfe pointed out, Trump’s positions as a whole are perhaps even somewhat better than the abortion policies the compassionate conservative George W. Bush ran on during his 2000 campaign.
