Donald Trump vows to permanently ban taxpayer funding of abortion

The letter begins with Trump’s announcement that he has enlisted longtime anti-abortion leader Marjorie Dannenfelser, SBA List president, as the leader of his campaign’s “Pro-Life Coalition”. A new analysis from Politico shows Donald Trump rising in key battleground states and on a path to win the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the presidency.

“Not only has Mr. Trump doubled down on his three existing commitments to the pro-life movement, he has gone a step further in pledging to protect the Hyde Amendment and the conscience rights of millions of pro-life taxpayers”, Dannenfelser said.

Because of his former pro-abortion position as well as a “disreputable past, which includes promiscuity, adultery and owning casinos, various life and family leaders remain skeptical of Trump’s ultimate pro-life convictions”! The former congressman is credited with drawing up the blueprint for the Republican party’s crusade against Planned Parenthood. He quickly walked back this statement, and got back in line with anti-abortion activists by claiming that what he meant was that only doctors who perform the abortions would need to be punished. And those things would return women, in a very real way – in a way that is already happening in state and local jurisdictions around the country – to their secondary status: unable to exert full control over their bodies; barred from making choices about whether or when to bear children based on their health, their economic, or familial status, or the condition of the fetuses they carry. He first declared he was “pro-life” in 2011 at an annual conservative confab. Today, Trump announced his support for such a law.

Donald Trump would like to return us to a nation of forced births, with women’s bodies as the vessels. He has impugned the dignity of women, most notably Megyn Kelly, he mocked and bullied Carly Fiorina, and has through the years made disparaging public comments to and about many women.

Dannenfelser also explained in an op-ed last week that Trump’s decision to run alongside Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who has led the fight against reproductive rights for half a decade, cleared up any questions she once had about Trump’s commitment to the cause.

In the second video, Planned Parenthood’s Mary Gatter said, “I want a Lamborghini”. In January she was one of a group of women who oppose abortion rights who wrote a letter to Iowa voters requesting that they “support anyone but Donald Trump”. In April, he further angered anti-abortion groups by saying he believed abortion should remain legal. “And I think we have to leave it that way”.

The first order of business for Clinton and her friends at the abortion company is to force Americans to pay for abortions with their tax dollars by attempting to overturn the Hyde Amendment, which has protected Americans from funding most all abortions since the late 1970s.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has outlined several proposals to defend the unborn in America, including the appointment of pro-life Supreme Court justices and a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of abortion. Making the amendment law is the strictest position Trump has staked out on abortion funding, although it is not surprising.
