Trump on abortion is an abortion: called DeSantis' abortion ban a "terrible mistake"

Let's get one thing clear, if Donald Trump gets the Republican nomination he will get my vote. There is no Democrat, especially the houseplant known as Joe Biden, who should be president. But this doesn't mean that I agree with Trump on every issue--and anyone who does is suffering from cognitive dissonance. 

Conservatives, that is, real conservatives, believe in the sanctity of life. People on the left believe in the sanctity of the Party and would vote for a turd if it was shaped like a "D" and running for office, which in some cases it does.

Former President Trump is refusing to commit to national abortion restrictions and said that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' signing of a 6-week ban on abortion is a "terrible mistake."

I respectfully disagree as do most conservatives.

Trump appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" where he refused to say if he'd support a federal ban on the killing of babies in the womb or shortly after their exit.

He said he could “live with” the procedure being banned by individual states or nationwide through federal action, though he said “from a legal standpoint, I think it’s probably better” to be handled at the state level. That's not much different from people like the late New York Gov. Mario Cuomo (D) saying that as a Catholic, he is against abortion personally, but as a public servant he supports the procedure.

Sorry, the killing of the innocent unborn is immoral and should have no boundaries. Cuomo is saying that he is willing to sacrifice his morals for the will of his constituents. 

Specifically discussing the bill DeSantis signed which bans abortions before many women even know they're pregnant, Trump said,  “I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.”

Well, it may be a mistake for DeSantis in an attempt to grab the independent vote and the vote of Democrats unimpressed by the non-sentient person currently in the White House, but it's a clear indication that DeSantis, like him or not, stands by his principles and his own Christian faith.

DeSantis posted on X regarding Trump:

 “If you want to appease Democrats, here’s your guy. If you want to defeat the Democrats in 2024, (DeSantis) is the only choice.”

That may or may not be true, but if you didn't see that the gloves were off between these two, it's obvious now,

A campaign spokesman, Andrew Romeo, distributed to reporters a roundup of conservative groups criticizing Trump and accused him of repeatedly compromising with Democrats.

“Republicans across the country know that Ron DeSantis will never back down,” Romeo said.

“We’re at a moment where we need a human rights advocate, someone who is dedicated to saving the lives of children and serving mothers in need. Every single candidate should be clear on how they plan to do that,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

I will say again that if Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination, which is very likely, he will get my vote. He has done a number of remarkable things while in office, but I see DeSantis as the better candidate and the real Republican in spite of the fact that Trump referred to himself as “the most pro-life president in American history.” Trump gets credit for his three SCOTUS picks while in office, but DeSantis gets my vote in the primaries.
