What frustrates me on the democrat position on abortion is that they purposely leave the term so vague that they are malleable. For example when they asked Trump last night why he disagrees with the Florida 6 week limit but also said he was going to vote against the amendment. They are trying to make it seem like he is flip flopping and that's not the case.

He says six weeks is not long enough, I completely agree. In fact I'm sure there are cases when a woman may not even be aware that she is pregnant at six weeks. However amendment 4 is terribly vague and its not on accident. They do not define what a health care provider is, they do not set a limit on time, the do not give guidance on what health conditions would allow for a late term abortion. If this were to pass a woman could technically go in at nine months to a planned parenthood (health care provider) and if she had decided that she no longer wanted the child they could justify a reason for the procedure. For example, you don't want to continue your pregnancy, I see that your blood pressure is elevated (common later in pregnancy, hmm that could cause you health care problems. They would have now met the criteria under amendment 4.

Just because Trump thinks 6 weeks is not long enough does not mean he should have to agree with this crap amendment. His point last night was that there have been some democrats that have argued there should be no limits and in Maryland Governor Nordstroms case he was even okay with after a successful birth the parents and the Dr. being able to at that point decide to make the baby comfortable and just let it die from lack of care. In fact there have been examples where during a partial birth abortion the baby ends up coming all the way out and is at that point a botched abortion and the baby has been left to die. When challenged on if they would oppose letting the babies die in these cases democrats will not take a stance and usually deny that this happens. The democrat led Senate in this administration has even fought against legislation that would require care for a child born during a botched abortion.

All that being said, I feel like Trump did a poor job explaining the facts and his position on this topic last night. I agree with the repeal of RVW, it should be a state issue and there needs to be some sensible common ground, but the democrats refuse to give an inch on the matter and want no limits. They then have the nerve to constantly lie about his position and claim he would sign a nation wide ban. The whole point of the RVW strike down was to make it a state and not a federal issue. He can only affect the outcome of the issue in his state of Florida and only has one vote as an individual to do so, just like everyone else.

The constant lies, hypocrisy, and gaslighting from the left is disgusting and flows like a river from the politicians and the media in lock step.
