Waterville Valley, New Hampshire was ground zero for some anti-choice action today. An audience member said that he was concerned about the civil decay of society, something Donald Trump should know a lot about. The audience member said he saw the decline of society occur with Roe v. Wade and that it has continued well into last week when Robert Lewis Dear shot up Planned Parenthood and said “no more baby parts” as he was arrested.
So what’s Trump’s solution? He would defund Planned Parenthood for sure and he said he would need a lot of Supreme Court justices, but it’s definitely something he’s looking into.
So, Trump is open to the possibility of coat hanger abortions becoming common again? Sure sounds like it.
The man in the audience seemed to be confused that Roe v. Wade was a piece of legislation that he wanted to “get rid of” rather than a court case that takes a majority of justices willing to overturn the law. Trump is right, it would take a hell of a lot of Justices to croak for this to happen.
The major point that Trump should be aware of is that America doesn’t stand with him on this issue. A September poll from Bloomberg politics revealed “by a margin of 67 percent to 29 percent, those surveyed said the court was right to rule that women have a constitutional right to abortion.”
Trump has made plenty of controversial comments during his presidential run and this time is no different. Recently he said that climate change hasn’t been fueled by humans even though 53 percent of Americans disagree. Then there are the numerous racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic statements.
Although he has the support of the GOP’s bottom feeding base, it doesn’t seem very likely that he will win over the intelligent Americans he needs to win the White House.

And I would like time preform your next prostate exam with a high powered concrete drilll
Can I watch as you torture…I mean treat him???
Roe v Wade was ratified in 1973, with a REPUBLICAN in the White House,and has stood the test of many attempts to overturn it,all of which FAILED,so unless we get an overwhelmingly conservative SCOTUS,Trump will never get his wish!! And 5 of the justices are ROMAN CATHOLICS!!! Get real,Trump!!!
They were not all Catholic in 1973 when the Roe v Wade decision was handed down. And although a majority of Americans have stated that they do not want abortion to become illegal, I am not sure that Trump or any of the other pubbie candidates would pay any attention to that…since they are only appealing to a small portion of the voters-the christian right and the fundievangelicals who want to turn this country into their very own theocracy.
I find it amazing that those that scream freedom of religion are trying to force others to believe in their god…the true god according to them. What right do they have to make other conform to their belief system…they are no better than Islamic extremists…they have more in common than they realize, and it isn’t good things.
I don’t know the religious identities of the SCOTUS in the early 70’s,but as of now,about 5 of them supposedly identify as following Roman Catholic teachings,and the Catholic Church is pro-life,and against anything which destroys a potential of creation,including the use of contraception.
Trump really shouldn’t be allowed to live at this point.
Gotta wonder if he’s trying to pull a Springtime for Hitler, with the same results
Trump is the perfect illustration of EVERYTHING that is wrong with the right: Logic, rational thought, evidence, facts … are all irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the rhetoric!
That is the “right” created by FauxNews and the GOP.
I don’t know, I wouldn’t put it past him to dispose of those he dislikes…kind of like a infamous character from history. Remember that guy that didn’t like Jews…yeah, like him!!!
You don’t see it as a stretch to equate defunding planned parenthood with advocating coat hanger abortions? The real stretch here is equating what this lady does and journalism.
