DONALD TRUMP'S COMMENTS CALLING HEARTBEAT BILLS "A TERRIBLE THING AND A TERRIBLE MISTAKE" ARE WRONG - I AM TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED IN HIM.
I am objecting to recent comments by former President Donald Trump
@realDonaldTrump regarding
#abortion. His comments are obviously based on UNSOUND and MISDIRECTED advice from a liberal within his group of advisors. I call upon all Prolife advocates, elected officials, Christian leaders and organizations to pay attention and raise their voices including

Quotes from the article about the
#Trump interview on
@MeetThePress:
"He went on to call a six-week ban signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, one of his rivals, "a terrible thing and a terrible mistake."
"At a number of junctures of the interview, Trump portrayed himself as uniquely capable of finding a solution to put the issue to rest permanently, saying "both sides will be happy" with the solution he helps broker as president and suggesting it will "bring the country together."
President Trump, one of the reasons I have been a strong supporter of yours in spite of all your legal and political troubles is BECAUSE you appointed Prolife justices that overturned Roe v. Wade and you have previously declared your support for ending abortion in our country. Your comments today are cause for me to withhold future support and ask for clarification on why you would say the popular
#HeartbeatBill legislation was wrong. I personally sponsored the very first
#HeartbeatBill that passed in our nation on March 6, 2013. I have personally met babies who were saved as a result of our legislation. I also passed the Arkansas Abortion Ban Trigger Bill in 2019 that went into effect last year the day the Dobbs decision was announced - it bans all abortions in
#Arkansas except to save the life of a mother in a medical emergency. Thousands of babies are now being saved in Arkansas and other Prolife states that have passed similar legislation. The NACL has passed national model legislation in support of the Heartbeat Bill and Life at Conception Acts. Why did you call my
#HeartbeatBill and others "a terrible thing and a terrible mistake"? Your comments were wrong and misguided.
The only morally right position for you to have as a future president is that
#Abortion must be abolished in our nation as a form of birth control. Over 65 million little babies have been slaughtered in our country. I am very disappointed in you sir. I have taken a lot of arrows for you as I have supported you in 2016 and up to this very day - but selling out on saving babies lives is a deal-breaker for strong
#Christian conservatives. You should retract your comments and reaffirm that we must protect all life, from conception to natural death.
On behalf of the
@ChristLawmakers and our members and supporters in all 50 states, the NACL members pledge to protect life from conception. We passed the Life At Conception Act as a national model bill to protect all babies lives with only one exception - to save the life of a mother in a medical emergency. We want a president who is totally committed to ending
#abortion in America in every state. Who will that president be?
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @GovRonDeSantis @ewjacksonsr @Mike_Pence @NikkiHaley @VivekGRamaswamy @AsaHutchinson @SenatorTimScott @votetimscott @GovChristie @GovDougBurgum @DougBurgum @WillHurd
We ask for a meeting with you to discuss this issue immediately so that the Prolife message and the gains we have made are not destroyed by counsel from those who have never fought the battles to save babies lives. Talk to the actual elected officials that have fought and WON these prolife battles in our states.
