Pro-life vote can still go to Trump

Published September 12, 2024 3:59pm ET



Donald Trump is far from an ideal candidate, but pro-life voters can still vote for the former president. While Trump has retreated on the issue of abortion, Vice President Kamala Harris’s extremism makes the alternative unacceptable.

The position of some pro-life advocates, such as Live Action founder Lila Rose, is that pro-life voters should not vote for Trump. Given his wavering rhetoric, abortion pill stance, in vitro fertilization promotion, and comments on Florida’s six-week ban, Trump’s position has changed and he does not merit anti-abortion support, in Rose’s opinion. “It is not the job of the pro-life movement to vote for President Trump,” Rose told Politico. He hasn’t earned the vote, plain and simple.
