An Illinois group that is against abortion has said that former President Donald Trump is “not the best candidate” because of his latest comments about abortion.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” It was shown on Sunday that Trump’s running mate told NBC News that he would veto a federal law that would ban abortions. The head of the Illinois Family Institute, Davis Smith, said that the group is upset that Trump has changed his mind about abortion.
“Donald Trump is trying to “woo” pro-abortion cheerleaders to his side, but in the process, he is making fewer people from his party vote.” “Some people in the pro-life movement wanted to vote for Trump but aren’t sure how they’ll vote now,” Smith said.
At the Democratic National Convention, Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said that Trump has said he will ban abortions across the country.
“This is a national issue because, even though Illinois is a safe haven for women, think of all the women who can’t get here,” Stratton said. “Donald Trump has said he might ban abortions across the country, so we need to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
In an April post on Truth Social, Donald Trump said that it should be up to the states to decide how to handle abortion laws. A ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy has been pushed for by other Republicans, such as Lindsey Graham.
People are talking about what former President Donald Trump thinks about a national abortion ban, but Illinois Family Action, a political and non-profit group based in Tinley Park, hasn’t decided yet whether to support Trump.
Smith from the IFA said he knows that Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, are much more rigid on abortion than he is.
Smith said, “They want the federal government to pay for abortions, and they will support and push them. Trump and his choice for vice president, JD Vance, would try to limit them.” “That’s why I think Trump is a good choice, but not the best one.”
Smith said that before 15 weeks, 90% of abortions happen. He said that a 15-week ban wouldn’t help with the problem of more and more women using abortion pills.
“America, Trump, and the political experts who tell him this is a good idea need to learn more about it.” “We have to get the vote out…our base,” should be the first thing any good political adviser says. As you “woo” people about reproductive rights, Smith said, “You are throwing a wet blanket on your base.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social not long ago, “My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”
Trump said that if he became president, he would make it so that in vitro fertilization methods are paid for.
In other words, “because we want more babies.” This is also why we will let new parents subtract big costs for their baby from their taxes. Trump said, “We’re for family.”
