The leader of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, a conservative evangelical political advocacy group, expressed strong support for former President Donald Trump's stance on abortion in a recent interview. Ralph Reed, the head of the organization, stated that he is 'very comfortable' with Trump's position on abortion and emphasized that Trump is personally pro-life.
Reed highlighted Trump's declaration of himself as the 'father of IVF' and praised him as the 'most pro-life president in American history.' Despite Trump's wavering on the issue of vetoing a federal abortion ban, Reed defended the former president, citing the challenges of passing such legislation in the Senate.
Regarding the national abortion law, Reed acknowledged the difficulty of securing the necessary 60 votes in the Senate and expressed a desire for any president to sign such a bill. He criticized Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris for her 'radical' and 'extreme' abortion agenda, accusing her of advocating for taxpayer-funded abortions with no restrictions.
Reed underscored the contrast between Trump's pro-life stance and Harris' abortion policies, asserting that voters of faith would be motivated to support Trump in record numbers due to this distinction. He emphasized the importance of these voters in the upcoming election and suggested that they would play a significant role in shaping the outcome.
