Trump says he has 'solution' to abortion debate

Trump on Wednesday said he has a “solution” to the abortion rights debate, but did not provide further details.

At a wide-ranging and tense press conference following the midterm elections, Trump was asked how he would “push forward” with his pro-life agenda as promised during the campaign.

“I won’t be able to explain that to you,” Trump said. “Because it is an issue that is a very divisive, polarizing issue. But there is a solution, I think that I have that solution. And nobody else does."




The debate over abortion rights is seeing renewed energy following Trump’s recent appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh, a conservative justice, is seen as a potential tie-breaker to overturn Roe v. Wade, should the opportunity arise.

I don't think rapists like Trump and Kavanaugh should be in control of women's bodies.

He intends to breed Der uberTrumpf.
A plot that will go as hilariously wrong as all his other schemes.

I'm sure his idea of a "solutiion" is that somehow, magically, women will simply stop having abortions.

Similarly, those who want to undo Roe v Wade are apparently under the delusion that before Roe v Wade women didn't get abortions.

He'll probably do nothing except bitch and moan about the Dems. I don't think Trump cares about abortion. If anything, he probably supports. He's probably paid for a few abortions in his lifetime... knowing how he is.

That's not a solution, that's something rattling around in his head. He really does think like an authoritarian: "I don't have to justify what I do"

if they have an abortion anyway. Is that the solution he's talking about? Has he decided on the "form of punishment"?

stack the courts with corrupt "pro-life" justices who will rule on his behalf in any and all legal disputes while rallying his political support among religious conservatives. mission accomplished.
