onepoorguy: Quibble: I don't think convict Trump favors a nationwide ban on abortions from conception. Last I knew, he was saying "leave it to the states".
Let's not let ourselves be fooled by the GOP's platform language.
In fact, the GOP platform still endorses “fetal personhood” by way of the 14th Amendment. Fetal personhood is the idea that fetuses have the same constitutional rights as people — a legal defense that, if endorsed by the Supreme Court, would essentially necessitate a national abortion ban, as it would mean that physicians and pregnant people would be committing murder by terminating any pregnancy.
Even if the Supreme Court was to turn aside the theory — doubtful — it is still the GOP's and Trump's position: "We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights."
Effectively, fetal personhood would prevent states that offer abortion services from doing so and I'll respectfully disagree with your quibble.
