Trump is Now Pro-Choice

One of those interesting little campaign moments is that Trump has decided to ditch the evangelicals and become pro-choice again. Pro-life looked like a loser position anyway. Better to join the winning side. It will be interesting to see if anyone notices his casual betrayal:
From a pro-life perspective, though, it’s actually worse than that. Trump has done what no Democrat—not Bill or Hillary Clinton, not Mario Cuomo or John Kerry, not Joe Biden or Barack Obama, not any Democrat—could have done. He has, at the national level, made the Republican Party de facto pro-choice. Having stripped the pro-life plank from the GOP platform, having said that Governor Ron DeSantis’s ban on abortion after six weeks is “too harsh” and a “terrible mistake,” and having promised to veto a national abortion ban, Trump has now gone one step further, essentially advocating for greater access to abortion.
