Conservative evangelical Christian voters continue to wrestle with a shifting Republican stance toward abortion, with former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance further agitating that confusion with recent statements about a federal abortion ban.
Stalwart evangelical supporters of Trump called out the GOP presidential nominee for taking a less hard-lined stance against abortion, going as far to say Trump is no less pro-choice than Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. The recent angst is a continuation of a debate that erupted ahead of the Republican National Convention in July, when the religious right urged the GOP not to soften its stance on abortion.
Influential leaders within the Nashville-based Southern Baptist Convention and other prominent evangelical figures are increasingly expressing a sense of disillusionment and are outright saying they won’t vote for Trump come November.
Talk about flip-flop. The guy who was crowing just a year ago about how he was single-handedly responsible for the overturning of Roe vs Wade is now trying to reverse his earlier stance.
Donald Trump also says he doesn’t support the six-week abortion ban put in place by former ally Gov. Ron DeSantis in the former president’s adopted home state.
It is good that the Evangelicals are taking notice. Let's see how many more get vocal about this.
