If you are pro-life, you cannot vote for Donald Trump. The point is simple and unavoidable: If the man is not a covert supporter of legalized abortion, he has at least thought about the issue so rarely and so incompletely that he cannot articulate a coherent sentence about it. Forget walking the walk. Donald Trump cannot even talk the talk. A vote for Trump in any of the remaining Republican primaries is a vote to continue the regime of Roe v. Wade that has warped American politics, injured American jurisprudence, and fed the American culture of death for over forty years. A vote for Trump is a vote for abortion.

All this should have been clear from the beginning of this election season. In fact, it was clear, to any who pondered the subtext of the playboy lifestyle he has described in his various memoirs. But with the stumbles and gaffes over the issue of abortion that Trump has made in recent days, the gaps in his claims of conservatism have become obvious.
