‘It’s not a pro-life position’: Anger after Trump says no to Comstock​

Many prominent conservatives and anti-abortion activists were outraged by the remark, calling it “nonsensical” and “cowardly.”

Former President Donald Trump gave his clearest answer to date on the federal regulation of abortion pills, and it’s not what conservatives wanted to hear.

After months of avoiding specifics, Trump told CBS News on Monday that he would not use the 150-year-old Comstock Act to ban mail delivery of the drugs if elected in November, adding: “The federal government should have nothing to do with this issue.”

Trump’s refusal to endorse a national abortion ban and push to soften parts of the GOP platform ahead of the Republican convention sparked outrage from corners of the right

I suppose he thinks women who want to abort their fetuses will be lining up to vote for him now?
