"...The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth—and that's exactly what it is: The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth—is unacceptable and almost everyone agrees with that..." -President Donald Trump

[Breaking Christian News] On Monday, President Trump released a statement regarding IVF and abortion, as he's been asked repeatedly about both on the campaign trail. (Screengrab image: via Truth Social)

On his Truth Social platform, he posted a video message that began with the concept of IVF and moved on to his take on abortion:

"The Republican Party should always be on the side of the miracle of life, and the side of mothers, fathers and their beautiful babies ... it must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position [abortion] because they support abortion up to, and even beyond the 9th month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth—and that's exactly what it is—is unacceptable and almost everyone agrees with that."

"My view is, now that we have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that's what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people..."

"Like Ronald Reagan I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother..."

Brian Burch of Catholic Vote weighed in on Trump's message, noting that while Trump may not have condemned ALL abortion completely, he is the only pro-life option in November.

The federal government cannot abandon women and children exploited by abortion. Leaving abortion policy to the states is not sufficient.

While federal legislation on abortion policy is challenging at present, we are confident that a Trump administration will be staffed with pro-life personnel committed to pro-life policies, including conscience rights, limits on taxpayer funding of abortion, and protections for pro-life states.

Furthermore, no woman should face an unexpected pregnancy alone. We believe a new whole-of-government approach encouraging and supporting pregnant women to keep their children can be advanced under a new Trump administration.

President Trump's latest statement on abortion reflects the electoral minefield created by Democrat abortion fanaticism. The fact remains that pro-life voters need to win elections to protect mothers and children.

Further, Democrats are now preparing a billion-dollar election year barrage with radical abortion as its centerpiece. While Trump did not commit to any specific pro-life policies, he notably will not stand in the way of states that have acted to protect innocent children from the violent abortion industry.

President Trump rightfully praised the end of Roe v. Wade, and applauded the courage of those Supreme Court justices by name that courageously overturned that decision. He also exposed the shocking extremism of "Catholic" Joe Biden, who supports abortion for any reason, including painful late term abortion.

The contrast between Joe Biden and the Democrats and President Trump is unmistakable. Pro-life voters have only one option in November. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
