While personally \u2064opposing abortion, \u2063he highlights the limited unilateral actions\u2062 the\u200b President can take. Recent Arizona court rulings challenge the notion that only Roe v.

Democrats anticipate a pro-life \u2062response in battleground \u200cstates.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Democrats are going to try to shift the entire election so it becomes about abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Donald Trump made a very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-senate-hopeful-counters-democratic-attacks-on-wealth-in-new-ad-cant-be-bought\/\" title=\"Wisconsin Senate candidate responds to Democratic critiques on his wealth with a simple message in recent ad: 'Unbuyable\">savvy political move<\/a> in dissociating himself from the issue entirely; he said that the federal government should not be involved in the abortion issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though I am strenuously against abortion, the reality is that the most the president of the United States can do unilaterally without congressional approval is implement items like the Mexico City policy, which is funding for abortion overseas, or target spending at Planned Parenthood domestically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The reality is that there used to be a fairly wide consensus that the federal government should not involve itself in abortion by funding abortion. Joe Biden is the one who broke that pact by saying that you and I should fund abortions across the country. He\u2019s the one who said the Hyde Amendment should go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So Trump made a politically moderate move by saying let the states take care of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, on Tuesday, an Arizona state Supreme Court decision came down that reinstated a 160-year-old abortion ban in the state of Arizona unless it was necessary to save a woman\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By the way, this gives the lie to the frequently used Democratic narrative that there were no abortion laws and no one cared about it until <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. There were abortion laws on virtually every state book dating back centuries in this country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1944-the-abortion-issue-explodes-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Democrats want is for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-fright-cnns-chris-cuomo-suggests-pro-life-legislation-motivated-by-racism\/\" title=\"\u2018White Fright\u2019: CNN\u2019s Chris Cuomo Suggests Pro-Life Legislation Motivated By Racism\">pro-lifers<\/a> to move really fast and really hard in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/remember-the-iowa-dem-caucus-disaster-heres-how-it-happened\/\" title=\"Remember the Iowa Dem Caucus Disaster? Here\u2019s How It Happened\">wide variety<\/a> of battleground states, hoping they will then get the Michigan-Kansas response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As you may recall, Kansas put a measure on the ballot calling essentially for the capacity to change the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-democrat-state-senators-issue-statement-calling-for-cuomos-emergency-powers-to-be-stripped\/\" title=\"New York Democrat State Senators Issue Statement Calling For Cuomo\u2019s Emergency Powers To Be Stripped\">state constitution<\/a> to allow for abortion legislation, and opponents said, \u201cThey\u2019re going to ban all abortions in the state.\u201d Instead, Kansas ended up enshrining abortion in the state constitution. The same thing happened in Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is an argument I\u2019ve had with many of my pro-life colleagues. We all have the same exact position when it comes to life, that life should be protected from the point of conception. The question is: How do you reach that in a durable manner such that the law does not end up being reversed and allowing millions of abortions over the course of time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is a pragmatic question, and not every state is going to approach it the same way; Mississippi, Alabama, and deep red states can pass very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/idaho-supreme-court-to-allow-abortion-bans-to-take-effect-amid-legal-challenges\/\" title=\"Idaho Supreme Court to Allow Abortion Bans to Take Effect Amid Legal Challenges\">strict abortion bans<\/a> and all will be fine because the vast majority of the population supports such bans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in Arizona, a very split state right now, it becomes far more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The reason the Democrats are elevating this \u2014 not just on the state level, but on the national level \u2014 is because they are hoping to be able to pin the full pro-life position on Trump federally, even though this is happening in the state of Arizona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was a report that Arizona Republican legislators thought the court\u2019s decision would flip the legislature to the Democrats and affect the presidential election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump preempted the Arizona Supreme Court decision by taking it off the federal table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That leaves Democrats with a conundrum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The conundrum is that Trump is more moderate than they are on this issue \u2014 and they know electorally, that could hurt them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats plan to pivot the election focus to abortion, but Trump&#8217;s strategic move to distance himself from the issue by advocating against federal involvement is noteworthy.
