One is abortion, which is not health care. The other is fertility treatment which is health care. Those are two different animals.Trump briefly tried to stake out a moderate-sounding position on a personal issue, his vote on Florida's pro-choice referendum. He suggested Florida's anti-choice law is too much and hinted he would vote for the referendum.
Barely a few hours had passed before his anti-choice masters intervened and he had to reverse himself and say he's voting against the referendum. He doesn't have the balls to stand up to his anti-choice masters--even in his personal voting habits, much less official policy if he gets back in--he'll do whatever they demand.
They want mifepristone bans, an assault on choice using Comstock, the nuttiest among them have IVF in the crosshairs, and on and on--and Trump will aid and abet all of it once in office.
Can't really fake the federalism argument when you're promising the feds are going to buy everyone IVF. Earlier Republicans were better at these sleights of hand, but Trump is just too clumsy to pull them off.
As for Trump he was talking about his personal views and I heard of no reversal as you claim. His personal views do not change the fact that he opposes any federal involvement in the abortion issue. He was speaking as a Florida resident.
