‘Bad for Republicans’: Donald Trump’s private admission about overturning of Roe v Wade
Donald Trump is arguably the man responsible for setting US abortion rights back 50 years – but behind closed doors he isn’t celebrating.
There’s one man, according to Americans on both ends of the political spectrum, whom pro-life conservatives have to thank for millions of women losing their legal right to have an abortion.
On Friday local time, the US Supreme Court ruled that Roe v Wade – which for nearly half a century permitted terminations during the first two trimesters of pregnancy – be overturned, ending what conservative author Marc Thiessen described in a column for The Washington Post as “the overarching, seemingly impossible goal of the pro-life movement”.
“Now that it has finally been achieved, four words should be on the lips of every pro-life conservative today: Thank you, Donald Trump,” he wrote.
“Am I grateful for Trump’s four years in office? You bet I am. Millions of precious unborn lives will be saved as a result of this decision. And Trump made it possible.”
Thiessen isn’t alone in his declaration – the former president is widely credited with laying the groundwork for the Court’s decision to overturn abortion rights protections, with all three of his appointees – Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch – part of the majority 6-3 ruling.
“Because of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican Party, their supermajority in the Supreme Court, American women today have less freedom than their mothers,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference after the decision was announced.
“With Roe and their attempt to destroy it, radical Republicans are charging ahead with their crusade to criminalise health freedom.”

Stopping killing the unborn is really outing the satanists
