Trump told Real America’s Voice TV network that pro-life candidates must make some exceptions for abortion in order to get elected. “I think without exception that Ronald Reagan, myself and others – (and) probably most of us – believe in exception because if you don’t have it, I think it’s very, very hard, frankly, to get elected,” Trump said. The comment was made in response to a question regarding Trump’s social media post where he claimed it was “the ‘abortion issue’ poorly handled by many Republicans” that cost the GOP the 2022 midterms.
From Just the News:
Among those that took issue with Trump's view was Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, the group whose stated mission is to "end abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders." The group said one day after Trump's social media post: "The approach to winning on abortion in federal races, proven for a decade is this: state clearly the ambitious consensus pro-life position and contrast that with the extreme view of Democrat opponents. We look forward to hearing that position fully articulated by Mr. Trump and all presidential candidates."
