The Trump campaign&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/04\/20\/republicans-abortion-dobbs-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">response<\/a> was to argue that states should be able to decide their own individual abortion laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Donald J. Trump believes that the Supreme Court, led by the three Justices which he supported, got it right when they ruled this is an issue that should be decided at the State level,\u201d Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. \u201cRepublicans have been trying to get this done for 50 years, but were unable to do so. President Trump, who is considered the most pro-life President in history, got it done. He will continue these policies when reelected to the White House. Like President Reagan before him, President Trump supports exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/walgreens-cvs-petition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-283198 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Walgreens CVS banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--500x128.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though abortion has been painted as a losing issue in upcoming elections, the reality is, the majority of Americans <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/rasmussen-77-percent-think-roe-abortion-illegal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support the overturning of <em>Roe<\/em><\/a>\u00a0when they know what it means, according to Rasmussen polling. The issue largely is that Americans believed that overturning <em>Roe<\/em> would make abortion <em>illegal everywhere<\/em>; when explained that it allows states to make their own laws on abortion, the majority of Americans supported it.<\/p>\n<p>And while overturning <em>Roe<\/em> was a good step in the fight to protect life, it was not enough.<\/p>\n<p>Public opinion is not always a good indicator what law should be. This is made evident throughout history, as majorities of people once supported atrocities such as slavery and genocide. Whatever the situation, slavery, genocide, and abortion are all predicated on the dehumanization of certain human beings based on arbitrary characteristics rather than intrinsic qualities or nature.<\/p>\n<p>Science is clear \u2014 preborn children are human beings \u2014 and the state in which a mother resides does not change that fact. Their lives deserve to be protected, across all state lines. It is not coherent or pro-life to argue that abortion can be acceptable in certain states, when the taking of innocent human lives is always wrong, regardless of law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><i><strong>Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them?
