A Political Loser
Donald Trump knows abortion is a loser for Republicans in a general election, but he cannot afford to lose his Evangelical base.
Trump reversing his position on a national abortion ban is yet another election lie. After taking credit for overturning Roe v. Wade and teasing his support for a national abortion ban, Trump is now trying to appease general election voters without losing support from his Evangelical base. Attorneys inside the anti-abortion movement have already published plans for a national abortion ban. One such attorney told an Atlantic reporter “It’s obviously a political loser, so just keep your mouth shut. Say you oppose a federal ban, and see if that works.”
