Trump, DeSanctis and Haley on Women''s Rights

 

September 17, 2023, during the Republican primary season of the 2024 election, President Trump agreed to an interview with the new host of Meet the Press. A question came up about women's rights.

Not really happy to throw water on others, but this issue is personal. So pardon me for any bad taste my opinion about this may linger.  I guess you know about the two candidates remaining for 2024 POTUS likely locking for second place on the Trump ticket. That's their right. But I'm not too pleased with their contradictions. Flip-Flopping?

Kristen Welker asked candidate Trump whether Florida Governor “DeSantis went too far by signing a six-week abortion ban.”

President Trump replied, “I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.” I couldn't agree more.

Competing Presidential candidates, Florida Governor Ron Desantis and former  South Carolina Governor Nicki Haley share a history on woman's rights. Here's how they stand.

Mr. DeSantis didn’t waste a minute. According to Newsmax,  Governor DeSantis “took to X to scold President Trump for an attempt to negotiate abortion [ban] term limits…”   Desanctimonious may regret that false claim—likely launched to join the parade of weak politicians who have become “banners” rather than pro-lifers.

Former Governor Nikki Haley is another weak one. She’s soggy on abortion. She called for a “consensus” among candidates. She’s a bit of a coward with no firm position on abortion. Birthbrain evIdently “flies” where the wind blows.

Candidate Haley says she’s pro-life, but her actions say different. In May 2016, as South Carolina’s Governor, Nikki Haley signed legislation allowing abortions up to 20 weeks. 20 weeks. That’s 5 months.

According to WebMD, at 5 months, the baby-not-born-yet can suck his or her thumb, yawn, stretch, make faces and move around. Is that when birdbrain says it’s okay to yank baby out as if “baby not born yet” is a troublesome toothache?

Remember what President Trump said about politicians. The first thing they say is what they always go back to. 20 weeks? Really?

Recently Nikki said she has to be realistic; then according to news reports, she tells Evangelical Family Leader Bob Vander Pleats that she’d sign a law allowing abortion up to six weeks. Is that pro-life? Is that saying whatever she has to win favor with voters?

Even Chris Christie slammed birdbrain on abortion for trying to be “everything to everybody.” That’s not too good.

Apparently, birdbrain’s position flip-flops on abortion depending on who she’s talking to over there, and it changes when she talks to someone else over here.

Isn’t that what Crooked Hillary did? Remember in May 2016, An out-of-work coal miner confronted Hillary. I guess Hillary forgot there’s video of what she says. The fella gave her a disapproving face. “How can you say you’re going to put a lot of coal minors out of jobs, and then come here and tell us how you’re going to be our friend. Because those people out there don’t see you as a friend.”

That’s how Nikki sounds. Flip-flopper. Flip-flopper.

Perhaps DeSanctis isn't a flip-flopper. He says he’s pro-life, but he gave his green light to end baby-not-born yet’s life anytime up to six weeks. At least that significantly better than Haley's 20-week ban. 

Maybe in his arrogance, Ron believes he doesn’t owe women an explanation about his retort to President Trump's response to Wilker's query..  Maybe not. Maybe, he's a go-alonger.

What DeSanctis missed is that when SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade, abortion became unlawful. Yes, they sent the issue of abortion to the States.

That’s just it. If Governor DeSanctis really is pro-life, he should have overturned the existing 15 week ban, not simply reduce it to 6 weeks.

Didn’t Ron persuade Florida legislators to waive a law that woulda forced him to resign before running for POTUS? Yes. So it looks like he has the power to STOP ghe murder off babies in utero.
