No, that's a submarine statement
His policy actions will be driven by this.
He explicitly said he will only appoint judges that will allow prosecution of abortion doctors and cut any funding possible in any way.
He's clear on this.
And Bush (no matter how stupid) made it in. There is NO pass on these statements.
So no matter what he said about his daughter, he will make sure it is as difficult as possible. Which in some states means traveling 6 hours to the only clinic in the state, getting a horror story read, and then delaying 24 hours before having the abortion. Which means they rent a room or travel back and forth.
The cost skyrockets, and people in that situation are already on the edge. So to have to spend a few hundred over baseline for no reason other than political pandering (a state by state issue) is the issue. Either it's legal or not, and if legal, any non-medical based impediments are not acceptable.
Which means these laws get challenged and end up at the supreme court.
Which means any candidate who's position is in the direction of these impediments fails.
That's MY litmus test on this issue.
Do you have one?
As to my political policy view on abortion, I am 100% pro-life. End of story.
I will appoint judges who understand the original intent of the Constitution. Judges who are committed to the rule of law know that the Constitution contains no right to take the life of unborn children.
I will oppose government funding of abortion. I will veto any legislation that contains funds for Planned Parenthood. I will do everything that a President can do, consistent with his constitutional role, to advance the culture of life."
