As George Carlin once said, "Anti-abortion is anti-women."

Even Trump knows abortion bans are a losing platform.

PLEASE guys, lose the Velshi app advert at the end of EVERY clip! Anyone who knows anything about marketing knows repetitive head-banging doesn't work and at very best discourages engagement. Enough already...you're better than this...

[NDARYBC]

...but he said he"d KILLED IT, and took it as an Badge of Dishonor...

[jayscott]

The argument of, "Late Term Abortion, " is absurd...

[jmiller]

His stance on abortion reminds me of a blow-up tube man at the used car dealership.

"There has to be some form of *punishment*."
That statement is so CRAZY and gets so little coverage in the media. "PUNISHMENT."

"Total mess" entirely defines Trump.

[CaneFu]

Trump's wishy-washy stance on abortion is like someone saying they are both a Christian and an atheist just so they don't offend anyone.

[Zorazora]

So let me get this straight… Orange Jesus celebrated the Supreme Court overturning Roe, but now this fool is tap dancing on Roe … 😮

[Arahknid]

Her body. Her choice. Government mandated pregnancies are repugnant. If you take away the choice of abortion, it FORCES pregnancy upon the woman.

[charlie]

It took Trump a week to come up with a policy on abortion which was essentially no policy. Typical.

[donsims]

His stance is the SAME as the SUPREME COURT the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ZERO SAY SO IN THE MATTER.

[therationalparty]

Looks like he got a fresh battery for that tanning bed.

[aegisgfx]

Like does trump do his own hair with egg beaters or something???

[donnalindsey]

Not going to vote for either one of them😮 no Trump ever😮

[PieroM-cs]

Considering the mess this countries in, this is what you worried about 😂😂😂😂

[aaronbertram]

It is entirely possible that Graham is playing a role choreographed by the Trump campaign.

[cathystraley]

THIS MAN IS REALLY CONFUSED, BIDEN/HARRIS IS GETTING MY VOTE.

[Leftywrecker]

Love how he mentions how he wants it up to the states, how it was intended, yet it’s a “total mess”
