Donald Trump Calls Out Democrats as the True Extremists on Abortion

The general election campaign between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is kicking into full gear.

Democrats thought they had a major advantage on a key issue facing voters.

But Donald Trump made Joe Biden’s life a living hell with this simple truth.

Donald Trump posted a video to his Truth Social account laying out his position on abortion.

Trump told Americans he was proud of appointing the Supreme Court justices who cast the decisive votes to overturn Roe v. Wade.

But Trump warned voters that Democrats would fearmonger on the issue to hide the fact that they are the actual fringe radicals on the issue of protecting life.

Trump explained that Democrats are so extreme on abortion that they support “executing” babies born alive following failed abortion procedures.

“It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth,” Trump declared.

“And that’s exactly what it is. The baby is born. The baby is executed after birth is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that,” Trump continued.

In 2019, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam coolly – and without a hint of remorse in his voice – described how a doctor would kill a baby who survived an abortion procedure by making it “comfortable” and then ending its life.

“The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,” Northam said in a radio interview.

In January 2023, House Republicans – upon taking back the majority in the House – introduced the Born-Alive Act which requires doctors to administer life-saving medical care to babies born alive following an abortion procedure.

210 Democrats voted “no” on this commonsense bill.

Nancy Pelosi later issued a full-throated statement of support for the idea that ending the life of a baby who lives through an abortion is somehow “healthcare.”

“Today, instead of joining Democrats to condemn all political violence, [House Republicans] chose to push their extreme anti-choice agenda,” Pelosi posted on X. 

“Democrats believe everyone deserves the freedom to access reproductive health services – without fear of violence, intimidation or harassment,” Pelosi added.

“Democrats will always defend reproductive freedoms against extreme Republicans who disrespect a woman’s right to choose the size and timing of her family,” Pelosi continued. “These are serious, personal decisions that must be made by women guided by faith, physician, and family — not by politicians.”

Democrats and the media don’t want to focus the abortion debate on the fact that the left supports taxpayer-funded abortion up until the moment of birth.

But Donald Trump’s comments informed the public about the left’s pro-abortion zealotry.
