Always knew this was coming. I mean, how did people see it wasn't? He's doing just enough to excite the base so he can win again in 2020. I don't see Democrats taking this at all. Despite how much we hate him, he has been a success to those who lean right. You can see that pretty much everywhere. Whether it's on immigration (at least our boi is fighting the good fight!), to women's rights (like this here), to "putting those filthy gays in their place!" (the trans ban), and etc, etc... though I just can't stand the argument anymore that pro-lifers "care about life, the child's right to life, even if they're horribly misguided." I've met legit pro-lifers, not anti-choicers. It's not about that. It's about being anti-woman. But these are people who think sexism only applies to pure and total loathing of women, in the most strictest definition of the word, so there is clearly no reaching them. SMH

I don't agree with abortion but honestly I think it should not be involved in politics,we don't know the reasons people get abortions so we shouldn't judge and leave them to decide on if they should go through with it or not.

Let the family planning stay with the family. The only reason to have a debate is where government fits into all this. Is it an essential service? If that's the case, who pays for it? Other than that, let the parents decide if they want a baby. No one has the right to make that call from outside, not the church, not out-of-touch political leaders, not even friends or family. It belongs with Mommy and Daddy, plain and simple. Of course, the people who really bother me are the ones who feel a rape victim doesn't have the right to abort if she wants to, if her family supports it... what the fucking hell? How are you that cold?
