  1. >the New York Times reported that Donald Trump privately told his allies he backs a 16-week national abortion ban with some exceptions. Inside the Trump campaign, the news was immediately met with deep annoyance, anger, and a scramble for damage control

  2. The Democrats need to run on this non stop.

    Trump wants a national abortion ban.

  3. Of course not… he was going to say he wouldn’t change anything because he lies.

  4. This is the easiest layup in a while.

    Biden needs to make Trump walk the plank during the debates and ask him if he supports a national ban. The answer he gives will either cost him his most die hard supporters or drive huge Democratic turnout.

  5. So we have a mole on the inside, excellent. Thank you brave hero.

  6. I have difficulties whether this leak is done on purpose by his team to set the narrative or it is something done unintentionally by incompetence or accident.

  7. It doesn’t matter. Nothing he says can be believed. And the word “plan” should never be used in the same sentence as the name Trump!

  9. I would bet almost anything that Trump has paid for at least one abortion.

  11. This issue alone is why the GOP is trying to switch the conversation to the border. They lose on this issue time after time.

  12. BAHAHA.

    Still waiting for the glorious health plan he promised would be ready in 2 weeks

  13. I wonder whay else he’s planning that isn’t supposed to be public?

  14. I seriously don’t understand the logic. I thought the idea was that abortion rights go to the states. And now we want to put it back at the federal level?

    Oh yeah, I forgot, being consistent has no place in politics.

  15. Drill on this baby, drill!

    Abortion is the *only* issue in every election until bodily autonomy is the law of the land.

  16. Democrats have been given a golden egg…. they better not fk this up….

  17. The fact that he was trying to hide this says everything you need to know about this shit stain off a human being

  18. Hi, could a politics expert please answer my question:

    Is it politically viable to alienate literally half of the human population? Tysm in advance.

  19. But all of my conservative friends said that the states should decide. So what the fuck is this now?

  20. It’s a shame that Trump’s mom didn’t have an abortion instead of giving birth to the orange turd

  21. The Democrats need to mostly focus on issues like this and the dysfunctional Congress and let his legal problems speak for themselves for awhile. There’s plenty of time to pounce on that too, if needed. But the easy vote winner, and rightfully so, is reproductive rights. That’s the path of least resistance to a possible Democratic blowout this year. 

  23. When his own daughter had an abortion
    REPUBLICAN HYPOCRIT

  24. Pro-tip: When a Republican advocates an 8-week abortion ban (or whatever), ask them when that 8-week-old fetus was conceived, and when the mother had the sex that conceived it.

    *Literally none of them* know that fetal age is calculated from the last menstrual period, not conception. You can catch them out every single time.

    “Well, when there’s a fetal heartbeat,” they may protest. Okay, well, is that six weeks from CONCEPTION or six weeks from LMP? They never know. They don’t know the most basic anatomical information about pregnancy. You can exploit it.

  25. I’ve told people for DECADES that this is coming.

    I’m sure a lot of those same people who told me I was overreacting before would tell me to sit down and calm down now.

  27. Anyone who needed this to be leaked to be confident this was the Trump/GOP plan hasn’t been paying attention.

    The GOP sold their souls (such as they were) to the Trump devil to get the Supreme Court & ruling they wanted. And Trump sold my rights to my body, so he could keep getting rich off the presidency.

  29. Are we sure the “leak” wasn’t intentional? He might be trying to use this as a way to fundraise for his legal bills. He gets evangelical rubes to donate tons of money to super pacs, which pay his legal bills. Winning the election might be a secondary priority.

  30. Any week ban is a full ban as they will never stop reducing the weeks.

    Noone in any meaningful percentages is waiting through months of pregnancy and then having abortions for fun.

    Late term abortions are to save the mom or fetus is nonviable.

    The government shouldn’t be denying patients and doctors the ability to decide the needed healthcare. No law can handle all nuance of pregnancy/delivery.
