Trump Says Same-Sex Marriage Is Settled Law, Abortion Isn't

Bloomberg - 20 minutes ago

Same sex marriage also opened the door for:
1. Spousal immigration and later on, sponsorship of relatives
2. Increased burden on Social Security System
3. Increased state and local safety net provisions
4. Rewriting a slough of administrative procedures

And I thought law was supposed to avoid radical new turns in policy?

Donald Trump’s first in-depth interview as President-Elect on ’60 Minutes’ provided plenty of insight on his policies. In regards to his pro-life views, he revealed that he hopes to overturn Roe v. Wade, meaning women may have to leave the state to get an abortion.

Donald Trump, 70, has appeared on 60 Minutes nine times throughout his illustrious career, but the Nov. 13 episode marked his very first appearance as President-Elect. He talked all about his path to the White House, in addition to addressing several more hot topics white chatting with journalist Lesley Stahl. Known for being pro-life, he admitted that he plans to appoint a Supreme Court Justice who leans pro-life as he does. Donald said “if” Roe v. Wade were to be overturned, then the decision would be left up to the state. Lesley reiterated that some states could ban abortions entirely, which means women would have to travel for the procedure. “Yeah, well, they’ll perhaps have to go, they’ll have to go to another state.”

Donald’s entire family was also present for the post-election interview including Melania, Ivanka, Tiffany, Eric and Donald, Jr. Of course, he talked about President Obama‘s Affordable Care Act, noting how he still plans to keep covering people with pre-existing conditions and children living at home under the age of 26. Donald also explained how he’s going to launch a new healthcare plan. “We’re going to do it simultaneously. It’ll be just fine. That’s what I do. I do a good job. You know, I mean, I know how to do this stuff. We’re going to repeal it and replace it. And we’re not going to have, like, a two-day period and we’re not going to have a two-year period where there’s nothing. It will be repealed and replaced. It’ll be great health care for much less.”

Donald’s victory was nothing less than shocking, considering he was down in all the polls and faced several controversies during his heated campaign. After his win was announced, protests struck across the nation in big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, so needless to say our nation is divided. The President-Elect also sat down for a meeting with Barack on Nov. 10, making sure there was a peaceful transfer of power. After hearing his latest interview, one can hope he’ll stick true to his word and “make America great again.”

HollywoodLifers, what did you think of Donald’s 60 Minutes interview? Let us know!

Trump didn't say Roe V Wade wasn't settled law. I watched the interview. He said he's pro-life and he'll appoint pro-life judges. When asked if a court overturns Roe V Wade, what would happen, he said the issue goes back to the states. When asked if a state banned abortion, he said someone would need to go to another state for the procedure.

Just because a judge is pro-life doesn't mean they'll vote to over-turn Roe V Wade.

With the morning after pills and the new abortion pills. Women have many choices if they choose this route.

Yes, they sure do, posylady. Although some pro-life groups consider those to be anti-life and would ban them as well. I'm Pro-Choice, so hope things remain as they are because I firmly believe the way things are or have been is the best way it should be. But I respect my many Pro-Life friends and their views as well. I think Americans are free to believe whatever they want, the issue is where does government and its power of force come into play in these differences. As a Classic Republican who believes in personal freedoms and individual rights, I believe a pregnant girl or woman has the personal freedom and individual right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy to protect her own life and government has no right at all to force her into childbirth against her will.

The CORRUPT MEDIA is just trying to fuel the fires of discontent and divide in our nation, they're misquoting Trump on ObamaCare claiming he said he might "amend" Obamacare when he didn't say that at all. He said he might keep the prohibition of denying health insurance for pre-existing conditions and keep the idea of allowing children to remain on parents policies until they're 26, but these weren't ObamaCare ideas to start with, they were actually Republican ideas from years ago. And here on this subject, they're trying to stir up the Pro-Choice woman against Trump claiming he doesn't believe Roe V Wade is settled law, when he said it was during the campaign, and again after that interview with Chris Matthews.

So I hope my fellow Republicans stand firm against falling for these CORRUPT MEDIA ploys to create discontent. Donald Trump is pro-life and is going to appoint people to the court system who are also pro-life. But being Pro-Life in your personal life does not mean that you will vote in a court decision to overturn a ruling that for 40 years has prevented States from forcing pregnant girls and women into childbirth against their will.

We all need to focus on fixing our country by fixing the economy, bad trade deals, bringing our manufacturing back home, stopping illegal immigration, securing the borders, deporting illegal aliens, lowering taxes, passing the FairTax (my preference), taking care of our Veterans, ending these Useless Wars, making friends with Russia, eliminating nuclear weapons, especially in countries like Iran and North Korea, improving our inner cities, becoming first in the world in education at the lowest or most efficient expense, repealing and replacing Obama Care, upgrading our military and infrastructure, and bringing joy, pride, dignity, achievement, results and respect back to the American White House.

We all need to UNITE on these important issues, leave aside the personal views on very personal private issues, and be our OWN FORCE against a CORRUPT MEDIA that after all these years I now see as one of the vilest and biggest participants in the decline and demise of our nation and citizens.

This is a UNIQUE one-time shot in our lifetimes and probably for several generations to come to actually make our government what it should be for our country for our citizens. It should be our home, our sanctuary, our protector, our safe haven. It should be where we live in peace and security, where we work and earn in ways and means with incomes that support US and our families, where our unemployment and soup lines are empty because everyone who needs and wants a job, has one, where our streets are free of homeless people, and homeless shelters are some awful relic from a dark past, where inner city ghettos are something we only see in old pictures if anyone even bothered to take pictures of them, and if asked "where's the hood", no one knows because there aren't any "hoods" any more, where when some foreign socialist wants to rant about the "immigrant community", everyone laughs because we no longer have "immigrant communities", only isolated unorganized individual immigrants who have come here to be part of the American Community.

So much to do, so little time. There is no time for any of US to let the CORRUPT MEDIA bog us down with disputes over personal issues like who can marry or be forced into childbirth against their will.

"DRAINING THE SWAMP" actually starts with draining the power of the CORRUPT MEDIA and refuting their LIES.

Trump now has 15 million people signed up on his Twitter Account, plus no telling how many like me who read his Twitter but does not sign up. On election day, he had 13.8 million.

He had an outstanding interview tonight on 60 Minutes. Anyone who missed it, needs to find a replay of it.

Donald Trump will be one of the most effective, most appreciated, most respected and most adored Presidents in US History, and our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will owe their lives and well-being to this man and the tens of millions of Trump Supporters who figured it out early, saw through the noise and lies, and against all odds, elected Donald Trump our 45th President of the United States.
