Talk radio host Laura Ingraham claimed Thursday morning that conservatives who refuse to vote for GOP nominee Donald Trump explicitly support abortion.
“They’re standing with the woman who stood up there today and said, ‘I’m hundred percent for Roe v. Wade and partial birth abortion,” Ingraham said in reference to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s performance Wednesday evening at the third and final presidential debate.
“That’s what ‘Never Trump’ stands for, I guess,” she said during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “Roe v. Wade and partial birth abortion. Fantastic.”
Her remarks came as fellow Trump fan and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said that every evangelical and Roman Catholic must rally to the GOP nominee’s side because of his promise to nominate pro-life justices to the Supreme Court.
“Hillary Clinton vividly defended the idea of late-term, partial birth abortion, calling it women’s health,” Huckabee said. “Donald Trump boldly took a stand for life tonight. And for all these ‘Never Trumpers’ out there, they need to get off their keister, if you will, just stand up and recognize —”
Hannity interjected, “Get off their ass! Just say it. Tell them to get off their ass and stop being a bunch of crybabies.”
“I’m so tired of all those people. They don’t deserve any more discussion until the day after election. Then I got a lot to say about [House Speaker] Paul Ryan and the rest of them,” Hannity said.
“Exactly,” Ingraham agreed as her fellow Trump fans nodded along.
Trump said Wednesday evening during the presidential debate that no one should be performing late-term abortions, and he hit Clinton for supporting the widely unpopular practice.
However, the GOP nominee punted when he was asked if he would support the Supreme Court overturning Roe. v. Wade, and would only say that he’d like to see the issue kicked down to the states.
Fox’s Chris Wallace asked: “Do you want the court, including the justices that you will name, to overturn Roe v. Wade, which includes — in fact, states — a woman’s right to abortion?”
Trump responded, “Well, if that would happen, because I am pro-life, and I will be appointing pro-life judges, I would think that that will go back to the individual states.”
“But I’m asking you specifically. Would you like to —” Wallace persisted.
“If they overturned it, it will go back to the states,” Trump said.
“But what I’m asking you, sir, is, do you want to see the court overturn — you just said you want to see the court protect the Second Amendment. Do you want to see the court overturn Roe v. Wade?” Wallace asked again.
“Well, if we put another two or perhaps three justice on, that’s really what’s going to be — that will happen. And that’ll happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court. I will say this: It will go back to the states, and the states will then make a determination,” the GOP nominee said.
Hannity, Ingraham and Huckabee agreed Thursday morning that the Republican candidate did a great job representing the pro-life movement.
