By Ryan Bomberger, originally published April 11, 2024, The Christian Post<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a contradictory and capitulating speech<\/a> on abortion, presidential candidate Donald Trump retreated from his pro-life position and policies during his time as president. While he highlights how President Joe Biden, and the Democratic Party, are absolutely extreme on abortion \u2014 pushing for unsafe, unregulated, and unrestricted abortions throughout the entire pregnancy \u2014 it seems that he has been fearing what the Left is cheering. Women and children deserve so much better. Trump\u2019s poll-driven approach only diminishes his former resolve and successes, namely overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/a>, in protecting the most vulnerable human lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes on the heels of Trump suggesting last month in a WABC radio show<\/a>, that he may push a federal ban after 15 weeks gestation. It\u2019s easy to push policy without clarity. What if Trump explained that 96%<\/a> of abortions are carried out by 15 weeks, according to the CDC. So, in essence, it wouldn\u2019t save the vast majority of the million lives killed via abortion each year in America. That\u2019s not a conviction. That\u2019s capitulation. What makes an elective abortion morally wrong is that it kills an unborn innocent human life. Adding a timeframe onto that doesn\u2019t ameliorate the wrongness of it. Imagine if slavery were allowed up to 15 weeks. Or maybe we allow hard-core drug usage (you know, \u201cmy body my choice<\/em>\u201d), but just up to 15 weeks. Then, put that magical ban into place that pretends to protect life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny how those, like Trump, who once stood on high moral ground regarding abortion, choose instead to position themselves in the sinking sand of politics. Chattel slavery was once popular. Jim Crow was once popular. Anti-miscegenation laws were once popular (crazy to think my marriage was illegal<\/em> here in Virginia not so long ago). Voter disenfranchisement, based on gender or color, was once popular. Thankfully, all of those injustices sank into oblivion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his Truth Social speech, Trump calls for IVF access in all 50 states. His full support of IVF either shows he doesn\u2019t understand the process, which requires<\/a> the deliberate destruction of many human embryos, or seems to think killing multiple human beings to create a successful pregnancy is morally acceptable. He proclaims: \u201cThe Republican Party should always be on the side of the miracle of life \u2026 IVF is an important part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the ethical difference between deliberately killing human life at an IVF clinic versus at an abortion mill? Being on the side of the miracle of life should mean never deliberately allowing that miracle to be destroyed whether through IVF or abortion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump falsely claimed that the \u201cvast majority of Republicans, Conservative, Christians, Pro-life Americans \u2026 strongly support the availability of IVF.\u201d A recent CBS\/YouGov Poll<\/a>, did find, without offering any clarifying information about IVF, that 86% of Americans support IVF. (I would suggest that a vast majority of people don\u2019t even know what actually happens during IVF.) An Axios\/Ipsos poll, though, found that 49%<\/a> of Republicans supported \u201cconsidering frozen embryos as people<\/em> and holding those who destroy them legally responsible.\u201d Most of the Pro-Life movement does not support<\/a> IVF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polls are a terrible way to decide morality. Politicians may depend on them, but principled people shouldn\u2019t. The right to life should no more be a poll-driven issue than slavery, domestic violence, racism, or the right to vote. Slavery was left to individual states. That didn\u2019t go well. Racism was left to states. That didn\u2019t go well. Women\u2019s right to vote was left to states. That didn\u2019t go well. And with the massive amount pro-abortion funded ballot initiatives, aided by equally massive mainstream media misinformation, the most fundamental right \u2014 life \u2014 is not going well<\/a> in too many state battles. (See this current example of monstrously disproportionate funding<\/a> in Florida\u2019s upcoming abortion ballot initiative.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights,\u201d Trump explained in the video. The fact that he is embracing the false label of \u201cabortion rights\u201d speaks volumes. Should we talk about \u201cdomestic abuse rights\u201d? Or \u201ctheft rights\u201d? Or \u201cpronoun rights\u201d? \u201cThis 50-year battle over Roe v Wade<\/em> took it out of the federal hands and put it into the hearts, minds, and votes of the people in each state. It was really something. Now it\u2019s up to the states to do the right thing. Like Ronald Reagan, I\u2019m strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. You must follow your heart on this issue, but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture<\/em> and, in fact, save our country which is currently and very sadly a nation in decline,\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an earlier post<\/a> over the weekend, Trump posted his support of exceptions, strangely stating: \u201cGreat love and compassion must be shown when even thinking about the subject of LIFE, but at the same time we must use common sense in realizing that we have an obligation to the salvation of our Nation, which is currently in serious DECLINE, TO WIN ELECTIONS, without which we will have nothing other than failure, death, and destruction. We will not let that happen. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “salvation of our Nation” depends on exploiting the one percent of abortions? (States that ban the violence of abortion \u2014 which is<\/em> death and destruction \u2014 already have exceptions to save the physical life of the mother.) I was conceived in rape<\/a>. The great love and compassion that I was shown by my birthmother and parents came in the form of adoption. So, Donald Trump, lives with origin stories like mine should die to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain<\/a>? No thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The failure here is to fall into the Democratic Party\u2019s predictable snares of fear. Pro-life Americans must strive to boldly educate, influence, and draw our political allies and the public away from the political quicksand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strength of our nation is not <\/em>in how we avoid difficult circumstances by destroying the weak and vulnerable. The strength of our nation is in how we overcome<\/em> difficult circumstances by defending the weak and vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
