Trump stumbles over abortion issue

[AK Forty Seven]

Quote from nutmeg:

Hmnnnn. That's a long time. Do we know one student of his? Has the press sought out any of his students who attended his classes for any opinion as BO as a professor? I never heard of any.

I wonder what the demographic make up of his class.

Don't know but U.S. News & World Report ranks University of Chicago Law the 5th best law schools in the country and Obama was a professor there a long time




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago_Law_School


The University of Chicago Law School was founded in 1902 as the graduate school of law at the University of Chicago and is among the most prestigious and selective law schools in the world. The U.S. News & World Report currently ranks it fifth among U.S. law schools, and it is noted particularly for its influence on the economic analysis of law.

The University of Chicago Law School is one of the best and most selective in the country. Most lawyers would rank it with Harvard and Yale in terms of prestige.

That makes their continued employment of an underachiever like Obama very curious. I guarantee you there is not another professor there who has not published multiple pieces of scholary work in the best legal journals. Obama has never published even one scholarly article, which is astounding. His employment was obviously a political decision dictated from above, probably by the same chicago insiders club of big shot lawyers, CEOs and pols who got Bill Ayers off scot-free because police "mishandled" evidence. And got Ayers and his terrorist wife cushy university jobs.

Quote from AK Forty Seven:

Obama: Well and because they have not been telling the truth. And I hate to say that people are lying, but here's a situation where folks are lying. I have said repeatedly that I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported - which was to say --that you should provide assistance to any infant that was born - even if it was as a consequence of an induced abortion. That was not the bill that was presented at the state level. What that bill also was doing was trying to undermine Roe vs. Wade. By the way, we also had a bill, a law already in place in Illinois that insured life saving treatment was given to infants.


So for people to suggest that I and the Illinois medical society, so Illinois doctors were somehow in favor of withholding life saving support from an infant born alive is ridiculous. It defies commonsense and it defies imagination and for people to keep on pushing this is offensive and it's an example of the kind of politics that we have to get beyond. It's one thing for people to disagree with me about the issue of choice, it's another thing for people to out and out misrepresent my positions repeatedly, even after they know that they're wrong. And that's what's been happening.

He voted against the bill. He can spin it any way he wants, but he voted against a bill making it illegal to kill babies. Notice how he changed the issue by rephrasing it as people saying he wanted to kill babies. He wasn't in favor of killing babies, he just wanted to protect people who did.

This is the guy who voted "present" on every other controversial issue. Bottom line, when forced to choose between abortionists and babies, he chose the former.

As for his sanctimonious bleating about it being offensive, he is the same guy who accused Paul Ryan of wanting to kill old people because of changes in Medicare reimbursement.

Out of over 4,000 votes he voted present 129 times

Quote from Spiker:

Maybe he wants you Ric ...... Ever hear the phrase '' Once you go Black...''

with a name like Archi ... .

Maybe he wants to take you to a Tea Party .

It's Achilles. Not archi.

And I'm into woman. Sorry to disappoint

I do not think I could ever vote for trump.

But to say that his statements prove he knows nothing of RvW or that he answered incorrectly is wrong.

It is possible he knew exactly what he was saying. He asked a question and rhetorical or not all it really implies is that he does not agree that abortion is a privacy issue.

Quote from AK Forty Seven:

Asking a pro life politician about Roe v Wade isn't a trap

Did you actually watch the interview? She didn't ask him about Roe v Wade or abortion. She asked him if he believes in a right to privacy. That was her lead in question to speak about pro-life. It wasn't like they had been talking about abortion for 10 minutes and she asked about privacy.

He rightly then acknowledges the obvious disconnect between the two issues that most logical people see, and then restates his stance.

Seriously, this is the best argument the liberals can put together against him? Reminds me of conservatives who jump on Biden for a minor stumble on the pronunciation of a somewhat difficult foreign name, calling it a major gaffe. This stuff if ridiculous.

A funny thread. AK Forty Seven (now Tony Stark) claiming Trump would get skewered if he ran, and Gabfly (now Frederick Foresight) chiming in. Ah, the halls of ET records is always good for a giggle.
