During a recent appearance on 'Fox News Sunday,' Trump-Vance campaign adviser Cory Lewandowski addressed concerns raised by pro-life activist Lila Rose regarding former President Trump's stance on abortion. Rose, who heads Live Action, criticized Trump for what she perceived as a move towards the center, which she believed could alienate his base and potentially impact the upcoming election.
One of the key points of contention highlighted by Rose was Trump's opposition to using federal measures to restrict the delivery of abortion medication by mail. Additionally, Trump's expressed support for IVF treatment and his criticism of Florida's six-week abortion limit were cited as examples of his moderate approach to the issue.
Lewandowski responded to Rose's comments by suggesting that pro-lifers who choose not to vote due to dissatisfaction with Trump's stance on abortion could inadvertently support Vice President Kamala Harris' more liberal position on the matter. He emphasized Trump's commitment to allowing states to determine their own abortion policies, citing the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the subsequent empowerment of states to make decisions at the local level.
According to Lewandowski, Trump's appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices has played a significant role in reshaping the national conversation on abortion and returning decision-making power to individual states. He highlighted the diversity of approaches taken by different states, ranging from conservative to more liberal policies, as evidence of the effectiveness of Trump's strategy.
Overall, Lewandowski portrayed Trump's approach to abortion as a reflection of his belief in states' rights and the importance of local decision-making. By positioning the issue as a matter for individual states to address, Trump's campaign aims to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters while maintaining a commitment to conservative principles.
