President Trump has further distanced himself from the pro-life movement, claiming last week to support “reproductive rights” for women. Meanwhile, VP candidate JD Vance said in an interview that, should he win the White House, Trump would veto a potential federal abortion ban.

From The Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump on Friday said on social media that a future Trump administration will be “great” for “reproductive rights,” setting off various reactions online.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

Democrats have been laser-focused on the issue of abortion for upcoming elections, routinely falsely claiming that pro-life laws are responsible for hurting women and telling Americans that Trump wants to outlaw abortion in all cases, which is not Trump’s position.

Again addressing the issue on Friday, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “My administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”

The term “reproductive rights” is used synonymously with abortion by Democrats. It’s unclear if Trump meant the same; he did post five-plus hours later about “leading” on in vitro fertilization, or IVF. …

Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing noted Trump’s pro-life legacy while deeming the “reproductive rights” post Trump’s “worst statement” since he first launched his campaign in 2015.

“The worst statement Donald Trump has made since he announced for the presidency in 2015,” Boreing wrote. “For better and for worse, Trump is philosophically malleable. His first term was perhaps the most pro-life in actual effect of any administration in our history. That is his legacy – if he will keep it.” …

Conservative Allie Beth Stuckey commented, “Absolutely no one is thinking, ‘I’m this close to voting for Trump. If he makes one more pro-choice post, I am IN!’ I promise,” she wrote. “Winning no one and losing enough for it to matter.” …

Back in April, Trump made clear that he believes the GOP should not press for federal pro-life legislation, arguing that Democrats “want this [issue of abortion] to simmer for as long a period of time as possible.” …

From The Daily Wire. Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said during an interview over the weekend that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if it came across his desk.

Vance made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” when asked about the issue of abortion …

Host Kristen Welker asked: “Can you commit, Senator, sitting right here with me today, that if you and Donald Trump are elected that you will not impose a federal ban on abortion?”

“I can absolutely commit that, Kristen,” Vance said. …

When asked if he would veto a federal abortion ban, Vance said: “I think he would. He’s said that explicitly that he would.” …

Abortion will eventually cause a deficit in social security, because when you prevent over 60 million people who would have contributed to its funding, you will see it begin to wane. Abortion affects many avenues including the school shootings we see, but I guess they get what they want.

Let’s not get excited about this, but keep praying, and praying hard.

What we are really aiming for, is the consensus in the wider society that abortion is unthinkable, and education to enable people to understand the horror and the tragedy that abortion is., will also help in this battle to get us to the position of no demand for abortion and no illegal abortions either.

From a spiritual point of view, abortion brings judgement on a nation and fuels the devils camp against a nation. The churches role is 2 Chron 7:14 repentance for the nation and for not being ‘salt and light’ but having allowed abortion to be legalised by not praying and not voting and not speaking – as a united voice against it – reminding candidates how important this issue is and only supporting pro-life candidates to run.

Finally: President Trump appoints judges who protects OUR rights to free speech, OUR organizations to operate both online and on the ground, OUR voices to have a seat at the table, and OUR roles in creating a culture of life!

Elect the Left and not only may we see Twitter banned as it is now un Brazil, but even this very IFA website may earn the ire of those in power.

Think about that.

We must pray for Trump, not condemn him. The arrogance on the part of some is appalling. It’s OUR job to build a culture of life. OUR job to care for the widows and orphans in distress.

Trump is called to represent ALL Americans, not just Christians — and he wants to give Christians a seat at the table in Washington, in culture. Unlike the Left, which seeks to remove the church’s influence completely!!!

Trump’s role as President, should he win by the grace and mercy of God on our land, would be profoundly influential — but also profoundly limited!

It is not “his job” to end abortion! He has ALREADY done so much by appointing the judges he has, who — by the way are also not called to end abortion — they overturned Roe based on *legal* and *constitutional* grounds, not moral or theological!

Instead our prayers should be thanking GOD for Trump, asking GOD to protect and guide Him — but ultimately, seeking God about how WE each are to play our part in ending abortions and building a pro-life culture! For some it could be direct activism, others it could be to foster and adopt, for some it’s to lead abortion grief counseling, others to make films affirming life, etc…etc…

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, something changed when Trump decided to run this time. Unlike the other Republican candidates and unlike any other previous presidential candidate in prior years, Donald Trump avoided giving specific answers as to what exactly was his platform. He never said what his policy was on abortion until he got the Republican candidacy and to this day, he has never said what his policy is on Ukraine or Taiwan or how he would prevent cuts to Social Security if the funding was running out or how he would reduce inflation (because tariffs increase inflation) or other important issues. This is in contrast to someone like Nikki Hiley, for example, who said that she was personally opposed to abortion but believed in being honest with the voters and so told them that a ban on abortion which never be passed by Congress. Donald Trump could get away with not declaring what his platform was because MAGA was willing to follow him blindly. His candidacy became almost cult like which is something we have never seen in this country before.
Even now at this late date, he needs to come out and say what exactly he plans to do in Ukraine and Taiwan or with Social Security to keep it solvent because his winning or losing the race depends on Republicans who are not MAGA and refuse to follow him blindly, Independents and moderate Democrats.
For example, Trump claims he will keep us out of wars. We have treaties with certain countries, Taiwan being one. We are, thus, required by law to respond if they are attacked. A president does not have the authority to break a treaty. This was decided by the Supreme Court. Treaties are only put in place with a vote by 2/3 of Congress and, thus, cannot be broken by one man’s decision. During Trump’s first administration, no country we had a treaty in was attacked, but China has all but said that they intend to make a move on Taiwan by 2027. So, since war depends on China’s decision and not on own, how is he going to ‘keep us out of a war’? And is abandoning Taiwan even in our best interest since advanced chips are the new have-to-have commodity and 90% of advanced chips are made in Taiwan?
Donald Trump needs to recognize that he cannot win unless he reaches out to moderates.

Trump has always been socially moderate. That’s why he chose Mike Pence for his VP in 2016. Pence’s Christian credentials offset the more contrarian views of Trump.

Trump appointed judges that believed Roe v Wade needed to be overturned on constitutional grounds.

Now it is a matter left up to the states.

Pro-lifers have a seat at the table of his administration, but Trump has always been socially moderate.

No matter who wins in November? If harris wins, we will be under a worse dictatorship than with biden! Remember the pandemic policies when many lost jobs for not vaxxing? Kamala is a Marxist! She is a Communist! Her beliefs steal freedoms! She is evil and wicked! Folks get out of your feelings! For 4 years kamala has endorsed mutilating children of any age with “trans” surgeries! She believes that children in the womb can be killed up to birth and even after birth if the mother changes her mind! The time to change your mind is before having sex that can produce a baby! No matter who wins in November? I cannot believe anyone could say that after 4 years of biden and harris! You’d better hope and pray daily that Trump wins! FATHER GOD please spare America in spite of people! Many do not know what is best for themselves but you do! Please let President Trump get back in office by a landslide so cheating cannot occur in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

President Trump is pro-life! He also respects the Dobbs decision that decreed that Roe should never have been a federal issue and that it is a States rights issue according to the Constitution! Many expect Trump to do their bidding when it suits them regardless of our Constitution! The Supreme Court ruled that Roe as a federal issue was unconstitutional, yet many do not care! They want Trump to pronounce a Federal Ban on abortions which would effectively go against the ruling of the Supreme Court and States Rights! Many states have outlawed abortions outright because of the Dobbs decision! Many states have outlawed planned parenthood within their states! But for many that isn’t enough! Look at Trump’s record folks! He has always stood on the side of Life! Instead of constantly whining and complaining, get on your knees and pray until your desire happens! If it lines up with scripture, GOD WILL grant your desires! Our country is in danger of being lost by and to godless democrats! Instead of supporting President Trump for the Christian judges he has appointed all over the country, some of you people constantly complain and whine that he isn’t at your beck and call with a federal ban on abortion! With biden and harris, they would not only kill babies in the womb but they believe in euthanasia of the elderly and sick of all ages! Remember when biden and harris tried to advocate for “camps” for the unvaccinated? So please be THANKFUL for all of the hard work in every area that Trump has done and keep your mouths off of him! “Touch not MINE anointed and do MY prophets no harm!” GOD has his hand on Trump whether anyone besides me and my pastor believes it or not! GOD knows EXACTLY where Trump is today, and GOD still has HIS Hands on him! GOD works with men’s lives and hearts so pray and STOP WHINING AND COMPLAINING and watch GOD move in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Seems like a lot of confusion swirling.
(1) We have both Trump and Vance committing to do something that they almost surely will not have the opportunity to do.
(2) The media is baiting us on the issue … almost surely for their own partisan reasons.
On the other hand,
(3) Cynthia Dunbar has warned us of the slippage in principles in the Republican platform. This seems like a manifestation of the retreat.
(4) I (and probably many of you) want clarity, specific commitments, and accountability from candidates.
(5) The Left have a track record of none of that, except in the bad sense.

Lord, please give us wisdom. It feels like we are being manipulated.

I believe God you know President Trumps heart. He needs to get in office first before any changes can be implemented. I really believe that Mr. Trump is pro-life. The abortion issue is a distraction to take our focus off you Lord. You can change a man’s heart. In Jesus’ name.
Let all people value life. Someone valued life for us to be born.

Very dissapointed in DJT. After all he’s been through, I thought he “saw the light”. Hope and pray he changes his mind.

    Perhaps Trump’s “light” isn’t your light? Give Trump a break and pray for him please! Notice how the democrats never publicly bicker or complain about their wicked and evil candidates? Yet some Republicans whine constantly publicly which effectively causes some to not vote for our candidate! Then the same complainers are shocked when their candidate loses to a demonic democrat! Stop publicly complaining, and give your concerns to GOD! Right now in human form Trump is what we have! If he loses, AMERICA IS OVER AND YOU PUBLIC WHINERS AND COMPLAINERS CAN PAT YOURSELVES ON YOUR BACKS FOR HELPING IN THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA! Amen!
