Possible Trump VP pick does a complete 180 on abortion

Posted by | July 11, 2016 17:45 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn said this past weekend it should be a woman’s choice whether or not to have an abortion. After that seemed to ruin his chances with the Yakking Yam, he completely reversed himself.

“This pro-choice issue is a legal issue that should be decided by the courts. I believe in law,” Flynn told Fox News. “If people want to change the law, they should vote so that we can appoint pro-life judges. I believe the law should be changed.”

He sent shockwaves through anti-abortion groups Sunday when he said on ABC’s “This Week” that women should have “sort of, the right of choice” with regard to abortion. Many interpreted Monday’s backpedal as evidence Flynn was under serious consideration as a potential VP pick for Trump.

In the Fox News interview, Flynn went on to call himself a “pro-life Democrat” and said that he is focused on national security rather than “social issues, gay rights and abortion rights.”

“If people are going to decide [the] election on abortion issue they should just stay home,” hetold Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin.

    I wonder if they will be watching these videos as they are trying to figure out why they were decapitated in November?

      they still won’t get it,,,,they have their ready-made excuse…”the system is rigged”

        I noted The Boor’s introduction of that meme, too (even though the GOP is the definition of “the system” at the moment). It certainly does sound like he’s teeing it up for the day after, doesn’t it?

      doubtful. they’ll probably be too busy complaining about how “Lyin Hillary” stole the election from them and just wait until next time they’ll show those libruls…

    Correct if I’m wrong but, hasn’t it already been settled in the damn court’s? It would appear to me that when the [R]ight doesn’t get the ruilings they want, then the court’s got it wrong. Fk these POS’ s!!!

      He chose to ignore Roe vs Wade and wants SCOTUS to decide again…

        just like what hey are doing to Hillary. they wanted their damn investigations, they got it and when it’s the complete opposite of what they were hoping for, then somethings wrong start again. wash, rinse, repeat and still come to the same damn conclusion. 10 more times and still not satisfied. this is why they can’t be taken seriously.

        • Gina Bousquet July 11th, 2016 at 19:24

          Yep. That’s right.

      I’m calling a do-over…..!!!

    “Sort of, the right of choice”……is that sort of like being sort of pregnant?

    Oh, the courage!
    Oh, the conviction!
    Oh, the bullbleep.

    The GOP RWNJs will never understand why they should vote for somebody who actually understands the issues and takes government seriously.

  8. Ed VanDyke July 11th, 2016 at 20:04

    Nobody likes the candidate. Now more than ever they need to make the election about SCOTUS appointees, confirmations…

    One thing he has in common with Trump – principles of convenience.

    If he’s a man who follows the law, he should not flip flopping. The law is settled. It’s a woman’s right to control her body. Flip flopping VP candidate would be a perfect choice for a Flip Flopping Trump.
