Major pro-life group threatens to oppose Trump candidacy over 'morally indefensible' abortion position
According to a statement, Trump believes abortion is an issue 'that should be decided at the state level'

By Brandon Gillespie | Fox News

Former President Donald Trump is facing heat from a top pro-life organization over a statement his campaign provided to The Washington Post on Thursday for a report on abortion.

According to the statement, Trump believes abortion is an issue "that should be decided at the state level," however, Susan B. Anthony (SBA) Pro-Life America, an organization dedicated to ending abortion, says it will not support any candidate that does not embrace a minimum 15-week standard on late-term abortions.

"President Trump’s assertion that the Supreme Court returned the issue of abortion solely to the states is a completely inaccurate reading of the Dobbs decision and is a morally indefensible position for a self-proclaimed pro-life presidential candidate to hold," SBA Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement responding to the Trump campaign.

"Life is a matter of human rights, not states’ rights. Saying that the issue should only be decided at the states is an endorsement of abortion up until the moment of birth, even brutal late-term abortions in states like California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey," she said.

"The only way to save these children is through federal protections, such as a 15-week federal minimum standard when the unborn child can feel excruciating pain," she said.

Dannenfelser vowed her organization would oppose any candidate refusing "to embrace at a minimum a 15-week national standard to stop painful late-term abortions while allowing states to enact further protections."

This issue should stay at the state level IMO.

Yes, absolutely!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
