Trump says he will vote against Florida amendment enshrining abortion rights
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Friday he would vote against an amendment in his home state of Florida that would enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution and overturn a current six-week abortion ban.
Trump made the comments to Fox News, a day after he caused confusion when he seemed to suggest in an interview with NBC News that he would vote in favor of the amendment.
The amendment is strongly opposed by the anti-abortion groups that have backed his campaign in the Nov. 5 election against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
"I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks," Trump said, adding he also believed the proposed amendment was too permissive.
"So I'll be voting no for that reason," said Trump, who has also indicated the matter should be decided by individual states.
Flip-flop. Can't wait for all the newspapers to "fact check" his interview.
He flip-flopped mid sentence in that NBC interview.
"I'm going to vote for more weeks. I've told them they need more weeks"
Which was a stupid, nonsense response to begin with ("more weeks" isn't on the ballot)
Then: "...I believe in exceptions; life of the mother, incest, rape" wait, so are the weeks just for rape victims? Or do they get more weeks?
He's a fucking liar and I HATE that the media at the time only came out with "Trump says he wants more weeks in Florida" which was a win for him with people who cherry pick his promises like they cherry pick which Bible verses they follow
Felons can't vote
wp:2020 United States presidential election in Florida
Trump ... Biden
Popular vote: 5,668,731 ... 5,297,045
Percentage: 51.22% ... 47.86%
400 000 extra female Floridians voting Democrat could have changed things.
Any woman voting Republican is a traitor to her sex. These people do not give a shit about you or your health.
It depends on the Republican, and Democrat for that matter: a few Republicans are still pro-choice, and I wouldn't be surprised if the odd Democrat might be anti-choice.
Do what some of the rich do and check out who in each office is running. Don't vote for Trump. If your state is near-solid red or blue, such as California or Utah, you might as well vote 3rd party if thon is closer to your heart. Check out who's running for governor, in your House district, Senate (if one is running), mayor, right down to dog catcher. When you're in the voting booth, you should recognize every name of every candidate: after all, you might have had 2 years to study this.
Or 200,000 people voting dem instead.
I'll settle for 186,000 to take the win, but who am I kidding, they'd just let the supreme Court void the close call again and try to give it to whom they wish
I thought he already voted. There were articles arguing it may have been done illegally depending on the sentence he receives.
Am I correct in concluding he'll vote again for state ballots so just early voting for the Press?
He also says he wants cannabis to be legal there. He thinks it will help, but I doubt it.
