Donald Trump considers a federal abortion ban so toxic in a general election thathe dodges the question of whether he would sign one as president like his life (potentially behind bars) depends on it.
But Trump, with his special brand of braggadocio, loves nothing more than reminding Republican fundies that he—and only he—managed to eviscerate Roe v. Wade by packing the high court with anti-abortion zealots.
“No president has ever fought for Christians as hard as I have,” Trump told attendees of the Faith & Freedom Coalition gala in Washington on Saturday night. “I got it done, and nobody thought it was even a possibility.”
Over the last several months, Trump has given Democrats more attack ad fodder on abortion than they could ever have hoped for. In mid-May, Trump took to his social media platform,writing, “After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade."
