Ivanka Trump Declares She Is ‘Unapologetically’ ‘Pro-Life’ For The First Time
Ivanka Trump, a self-styled empowerer of women, has come forth to “unapologetically” state her opposition to abortion, reportedly the first time she has explicitly done so — the claim, which undermines her efforts to aid women’s development, comes mere days before multitudes of anti-abortion voters are expected to turn out in support of her father, president Donald Trump, as he faces off in an election against Democrat Joe Biden.
In an interview with RealClearPolitics, Trump said that while she “respect(s) all sides of a very personal and sensitive discussion,” she is “pro-life, and unapologetically so.”
Trump said that “parenthood” has affected her thinking on this matter in a “profound” way, with an aide adding that “where the Democratic Party has gone” was also a huge driver for Trump, though it is not immediately clear what she meant by this.
While never explicitly stated, Trump’s revelation follows previous reports that she and husband Jared Kushner reached out to Planned Parenthood with a “bribe” to halt abortion services.
When asked by RealClearPolitics about her stance on abortion, Ivanka Trump said: “I respect all sides of a very personal and sensitive discussion… but I am also a mother of three children, and parenthood affected me in a profound way in terms of how I think about these things,” she said. “I am pro-life, and unapologetically so.”
