I thought that was what we\u2019ve seen in action was a state exercising its right to make laws, right?<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s confusing comment came yesterday, April 10. Many of us are left wondering what happened to \u201clet the states decide\u201d and \u201cfederalism?\u201d \u2014 a view of the abortion issue that Trump laid out in a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joemygod.com\/2024\/04\/trump-claims-he-opposes-national-ban-on-abortion\/\">policy statement <\/a><\/strong>just last week.<\/p>\n<p>Today, April 11, Trump stated that if elected he would definitely <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/trump-clarifies-wouldnt-sign-abortion-ban\/\">NOT sign a federal abortion ban<\/a><\/strong> under any circumstances. So he\u2019s on the side of federalism when it supports his policy decisions but against it when a state Supreme Court upholds a state law he doesn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>Kari Lake, who ran for Arizona governor in 2022 and is now running for the U.S. Senate, came out equally strong against Arizona\u2019s abortion law.<\/p>\n<p>Lake said she \u201coppose[s]\u201d the Arizona Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in favor of the state\u2019s pro-life law, which she slammed as \u2018out of step with Arizonans,\u2019 and vowed not to support abortion bans if elected to the US Senate, as reported by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/kari-lake-arizona-abortion-democrat-hobbs\/\">LifeSite News<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is an issue on which you cannot compromise. Once you do, the pendulum will continuously swing further to the left. This is exactly what happened to the Democratic Party. It started out in support of abortion just in the first trimester of pregnancy, and look where they are today. They are the full throttle party of death. They support the right to kill one\u2019s baby right up to the moment of birth throughout all nine months of pregnancy, and are moving toward the right to kill the baby outside of the womb (some have already gone there).<\/p>\n<p>So the GOP has placed itself on the same slippery slope.<\/p>\n<p>What Trump and Lake and all of their supporters are really saying is this: A little baby killing is OK just don\u2019t get too \u201cextreme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, but that is a compromise of the worst kind. The GOP died today as a legitimate conservative option to the Democrats. It will not recover from this.<\/p>\n<p>I know some of you will say that it died long ago, and you may be right. But this is a big step, a leap, toward clarifying what they really stand for. They are lurching toward the same evil position of their opponents, which means there is no longer any battle between good and evil in any election in which a Republican takes the position of Trump or Lake. Abortion is cool, just make sure it\u2019s not of the \u201cextreme\u201d variety.<\/p>\n<p>At first, if you recall, the Democrats said babies in the womb were not actually living things, just tissue. They said abortion should be \u201csafe, legal and rare.\u201d Now they celebrate their abortions and stumble over themselves trying to transport young women across state lines and into blue states where they can abort their babies before anyone can even ask them if that\u2019s what they really want to do.<\/p>\n<p>Mark it down right now. Within a decade, if America is still around, the GOP will be on board with abortion up to birth. That\u2019s the track they\u2019ve placed themselves on. They honestly believe that it\u2019s impossible to win elections now if you are not at least partially pro-abortion (whatever that means) and pro-LGBTQ. Both Trump and Lake also support the LGBTQ agenda, perhaps again not as radically as the Democrats, but they support it. Trump\u2019s wife, Melania, addressed the Log Cabin Republicans just this week, sending a signal that her husband has moderated on that position too. Lake has make similar pilgrimages and outreaches to the gay community.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they\u2019re right. Maybe it has become impossible to win elections if you\u2019re not pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ. But if that\u2019s the case, it only illustrates how far down the cultural rat hole America has gone, and when you get to a certain point, it\u2019s beyond saving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leo Hohmann.com is 100 percent reader supported and operates independent of any corporate ads or sponsorships.
