    Trump has relatively moderate personal views on abortion (he just wants to win the election so he tries not to alienate voters).

    Bullshit, his alleged personal views are meaningless in the face of actions, and his actions say he isn’t moderate in the slightest.

    Edited for an example from the beginning of his presidency:

    March 2016 – “The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment,” Trump told a MSNBC town hall after being asked: “Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle?” After his response, the host then sought a clarification on his use of the word punishment: “For the woman?” And Trump said, “Yeah, there has to be some form.” Following widespread criticism, Trump later walked back his comments in a statement.

      He boasts that he ended Roe.

      I truly hope there’s an overwhelming response, because if every woman recognized the threat he represents and voted accordingly it would be so very, very satisfying.
