Former President Donald Trump weighed in on the abortion debate, which has been a politically fraught subject for Republicans.

Reports claim Trump has discussed having a ban on abortions after 16 weeks of pregnancy with three exceptions: rape, incest and the life of the mother.

"Pretty soon, I'm going to be making a decision. And I would like to see if we could do that at all. I would like to see if we could make both sides happy," Trump said on "MediaBuzz" Sunday.

Again, a phrase I used in another topic yesterday:
Realpolitik.

We already have an abortion compromise.  States that want to restrict abortion can restrict abortion.  States that don't want to restrict abortion can choose not to.  The only problem here is that those supporting unrestricted abortion aren't satisfied with doing it only for their States, but demand that it be forced upon every other State.

Each state, by SCOTUS ruling, can make its own rules.

Should be the end of the Federal part in all this, or is the Federal Government, once again, going to impose its will on the Rights of the States to determine their own government and laws?

I have yet to see any evidence that MAGA has an interest in winning elections.  Otherwise this would be the dumbest move the orange king has made, raising the spectre of a federal abortion ban, when any sensible conservative wants to leave it under the purview of state law.

And so goes the single shining thing left from The 'great' MAGA movement. The ONLY thing they got done from the entire enterprise. Today it's back on the table for Tumpy to wheel and deal with.

What an enormous waste of time. And here we go again.
