During Tuesday’s debate, President Trump refused to say whether or not he would veto a national abortion ban. Is this a good sign? What do you think?
From The Hill. Former President Trump refused to commit to vetoing a national abortion ban during Tuesday night’s presidential debate.
Do you want state prayer alerts?
When asked directly if he would veto a ban, Trump indicated Congress wouldn’t need to pass one.
“I’m not in favor of an abortion ban, but it doesn’t matter, because this issue has now been taken over by the states,” Trump said. …
Democrats are concerned that a Trump presidency could enact national abortion restrictions or a ban even without Congress by invoking the Comstock Act, a law from 1873 that bars the mailing of abortion-related materials.
Trump once again took credit for overturning Roe v. Wade …
Vice President Harris attacked him for the current patchwork of abortion laws across the country. Abortion is banned or restricted in nearly two dozen states, and Harris referred to the laws repeatedly as “Trump abortion bans.” …
You can view Trump’s comments in the embedded video below.

He doesn’t favor abortion.. . My mother wanted children He cares about collective groups.
Trump needs to be reminded that God does not like His Word to be compromised. Pray for Trump to realize this and change his mind re abortion.
I see this as a moot point since the Supreme Court already ruled that it is up to the states to rule on abortion specifics. It is not regulated by the federal government any longer.
Our prayers and outreach should be for and to our state law makers.
I believe Trump is wisely playing the fence, in order to do a follow-up later in favor of the unborn. Let’s continue to pray for him & that God will give him wisdom in this battle.
If there’s a certain something that’s needed in the fight for the unborn & life, it’s wisdom on how to maneuver through the battlefield without giving away one’s full strategy. Because if we give away our “long term goals”, it just allows the enemy to full out attack and try to destroy those plans, regardless of how good they are. Watch & pray.
Pres Trump is a Pro Life President. He has done more to support the unborn than any other of last five Presidents. Even attending March god life in person .
I pray that more people will stand with him in this as we know the other Candidate is 100 percent behind any and all abortions.
Let’s pray that our whole nation will turn away from abortion!
There are 40 million Christian’s not registered to vote. The church has to encourage their congregation it is important to voice their opinions in voting or we will loss all rights. shame on mindless church goers to not care about our country and it’s freedoms.
NEVER underestimate the END result of what Trump is doing….there is WAY more to this than meets the eye. He first and foremost MUST get into office or our country is done and abortion will be the least of our worries! I am pro life, but I know that trump plays the trump card….don’t misjudge the man , he knows what hes’ doing!!
Trumps an idiot ? He was the only president that came and spoke to the rally for life in our capital. I find what you said about former President offensive. He is pro Israel, good friend of BiBi Netanyahu. I think you are on the wrong website….
Try CNN it is more your speed.
Haley…you’re definitely on the wrong site. Trolling this site is a waste of time. Give it up. You’ve already lost. Don’t lose your soul because you’re a troll.
I think it is to save himself from the haters. GOD talks to his heart and I pray and believe he will stand up for the unborn babies. He is a stong man , but his self pride has been knocked down a few inches, leaving room for GOD to talk to his heart.
I think that President Trump’s refusal to support legislation for a National Abortion Ban – is because he is sticking with the newer Supreme Court ruling that says that the decisions in these matters belongs with the individual States, rather than the federal government taking reigns on this issue again. The Constitutionally, the federal level of governance should NOT be making the rulings in certain mattters. He is being consistent with the Supreme Court ruling that this decision belongs with the States.
President Trump has his own point of view, but is not letting the opposition open him to a criticism that he has stated that he will be the one taking away certain “rights”. They have likley tried to “dirty” the campaign with such accusations about him, but He can rightly correct them by rebutting that he knows that these decisions are now in the hands of the voters in individual states. He really needs the public to see that he is being consistent in his stand on this.
It seems Trump is against abortions except in rare cases as rape. Incest or life threatening conditions. I believe when he’s in office there will be a focus on family and there will be a new family department as it once was before Roe vs Wade when the government provided booklets about your baby before birth. And a booklet for every year of their lives up to college or maybe beyond. My mom gave me the one about your baby in the womb and their growth each month. I ordered the rest. But when my daughter got pregnant I tried to order another set for her and they were no longer available because Planned Parenthood was now out department of family services. Sad.
It’s the devils blood bath not ours. Jezabel was in full display! Cunning, charming, and deceiving we know that the devil will be who he wants to be anytime! Father, I believe our President Trump will make the right decision when the time comes. They’re dying to hear it him answer the question! Satan will kill, steal and destroy if he doesn’t get his way. We the people will be happy when our president bans abortion when he gets back in office! He is here for for such a time as this. Amen
A federal abortion ban is unconstitutional. You can NOT legislate morality. We need to teach children the sanctity of life. Abortion is murder and not a option. The church has failed. We cannot turn our obligation as the church over to the government.
Faulty premise
You can legislate murder. If it’s against the law to murder a person that is outside of the womb, then it is, by default, against the law to murder a person that is in the womb. Both are persons.
Did anyone hear what he has been saying? He wanted it to go back to the States where the people decide. If it is at the State level, the President will not have it go across his desk. It will go across the desks of the 50 governors. If it is at State level there will be no national abortion ban.
Yes! Thank you!
The left keeps asking this question knowing it will gender strife and confusion.
It’s now a state issue.
Everyone!!! Fight fight fight in your state!!!
People who have followed a smart President has stated over the years that he is NOT for abortion. A smart candidate does not out himself totally because people have short memories. He is not a pastor; he is the closest thing to baling us out IF there is still a chance. if we have followed him, we know what he stands for. Does he need prayer? YES! The choice is obvious… Would you rather not vote and therefore vote for the other side? Would you not pray and ask the Father to save us one more time with the best President we have had in recent history? He is not, nor are we perfect, but he is redeemable. God cover and protect President Trump and may we get one more chance to be the church, stand for our country and VOTE ON VOTING DAY!
THIS IS POLITICS, AN ATTEMPT TO APPEAL TO THE ABORTION LOBBY.
I WOULD PRFER AN OUTRIGHT BAN. DEAR GOD, PLEASE END THIS TRAVESTY. AND THWART ALL THEIR PPLANS
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN

The states now carry the burden on abortion. Let’s pray that President Trump would have a bill that will uphold centers for the women and young adults that need help through their pregnancy. Pray that there will be adoption services ready available and waiting parents to be!!! Let’s concentrate on the good and praise the Lord for the remaking of our families from the White House!!!
If it is a fact that the abortion issue has been turned over to the states by the Supreme Court, then pro-life efforts should concentrate on the state legislature, correct?
Ask God about it. I personally find the self-righteous attacks against Trump on the part of some Christians (including within the pro-life movement) to be morally repugnant and reminiscent of the worst of Pharisees. They accuse Trump supporters of being cult-like, yet they are the ones upset that Trump’s power is limited and that he is not called to be a Messiah in this matter.
Sit out the vote? Vote for Kamala even? If that’s how you feel GOD is leading you, then who am I to suggest otherwise?
Please also be mindful it’s not just a right to an abortion that is at stake this election – but the right to free speech, the right to worship, even the right to a Christian education and to homeschool is something Leftists have suggested cracking down on in passing.
The right to pray in front of an abortion clinic.
The right to run a crisis pregnancy center.
Planned Parenthood’s funding is also on the ballot.
Appointment of justices not just in the US Supreme Court but in numerous other highly influential lower courts.
The very institution of the Supreme Court is even under threat as even President Biden has brought up the possibility of introducing term limits, court packing, and court expansion.
Forever wars and global stability is on the ballot. What use is it being pro-life, while at the same time sanctioning the needless killing of hundreds of thousands of children in military conflicts around the world?
Addressing crime in our streets and sex trafficking and rape at the border in the ballot.
The list goes on. God help you if you’re just finding something to indulgently nitpick, even as we have a candidate who has proven time and time again that he wants to give Christians a seat at the table.
I forgot to mention the rights of doctors, nurses, and hospitals to refuse to perform abortions or administer birth control.
That’s also on the ballot.
Thank you that is true. It’s time we wake up and see it’s not democrat vs republican its good vs evil and an outright outspoken EVIL trying to take over. It’s our job to fast and pray this never happens! Don’t waste time arguing, put your faith into action by voting your moral values and obligation, and yes keep praying God’s will be done in this election!!!!
Amen Mel!
Jen, this is perfect…I really appreciate the way you think and express yourself.
“LORD, please may this season be one of miracles, signs, and wonders. NOT chaos, robbery, and destruction.”
Remember this? It was so impacting to me that I quoted you after reading “Congressman Warns of Election Aftermath.”
Keep speaking truth, it is hard to reject. Keep trusting God, it is the only way. I remember a blessing I received from a messianic rabbi….May the Holy One of Israel bless and reward you according to His Word. This is my prayer for you and all those you love. Amen
Wow. Thank you Susan CC for your encouragement! Sending you my love in the Spirit. May abundant joy overflow in your life and in that of all your loved ones as well!
For too long the church has failed to get ahead of the lies and misrepresentation regarding abortion. We’ve allowed the left to attach false labels like “pro-choice” and “women’s reproductive rights” to an abominable practice that ends a life, with little push-back. And so the attitude of the nation has changed and come around to defending the practice in large measure. Until that attitude is changed – through prayer and through education and through standing up and speaking out, I don’t fault any politician who realizes it’s an issue they can’t win on. Donald Trump has done what he could. He is letting each state decide. We can work within our states to bring about a change. God help us to do it.
Lord Jesus, I cry out to You about this issue of abortion. I pray that Your will may prevail in our nation in everything that is said and done .I pray that people’s hearts be changed. Thank You, Jesus.
He did the right thing. Let the states continue to decide. If he would’ve given them what they wanted, they would’ve ran with it, and he would never be president. The left blows all things out of proportion and lies. Just like they are lying now by saying there would be no help for women who miscarriage. When that happens, it’s a medical emergency and medical insurance covers it.
So yes, this is where we are where are-we have to choose between the lesser of two evils and pray at our state level for godly leaders like we have in South Dakota with Kristi Noem. And also pray that horrible bills that allow abortion at any stage will not be passed
Abortion is a supremely important issue the church at large, apart from several good and tenacious Pro-Life organizations, has been relegated to an honorable mention at best on Right to Life Sunday. The Supreme Court Justices appointed during President Trump’s term overturned Roe v Wade, something we’ve wanted for decades, which put the issue of abortion back in our arenas in the states. It seems we’re not doing, at least initially, as well as we’d like even in “Red” states. National and state denominational Christian church leadership seemingly can’t unify around the protection of the unborn beyond lip service and rally congregations or speak as one voice to government. In Genesis 11 God confused their language as there would be nothing, because of their unity, impossible for them. In John 17: 20-23 Jesus prayed that we would be perfectly one, so the world would know he was sent. Instead of being disappointed with Trump for not committing to a national ban; we should better steward what we’ve been given.
I commend DJT for NOT speaking his personal belief here, for should he do that, this abortion issue would instantly become a national one once again! He has done us a favor by allowing this to become/remain a state issue, where each of us has a clearer voice to speak our desires. Of course we would like to know how Pres Trump personally feels, but what he DOES is more important. Was Cyrus a priest, a spiritual leader? No, but he didn’t need to be to accomplish the Lord’s will in his day. We shall see DJT do exactly the same in our time and with regard to sanctity of life.
President Donald Trump will not have opportunity to veto an abortion bill as he turned that over to the states.
It is now the responsibility of the states. For over 50 years we have been on the front lines, handing out information on abortion, showing them pictures, sharing the truth…and we continue to do so. Bottom line we can’t stop or force anyone from having an abortion if they decide to. We don’t control people we pray for them.
They (pro-choice) will always find a way even if it were banned.
Take the pressure off of President Donald Trump.
Only God can remove the scales from their eyes (I am one who has partaken of this evil. But God encountered me, revealed the truth, convicted me, and with his kindness led me to repentance).
God is able!
