Trump Preempts Democrats' Attack On Him Regarding Abortion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : There were abortion laws on virtually every state book dating back centuries in this country.
50% : Instead, Kansas ended up enshrining abortion in the state constitution.
48% : Though I am strenuously against abortion, the reality is that the most the president of the United States can do unilaterally without congressional approval is implement items like the Mexico City policy, which is funding for abortion overseas, or target spending at Planned Parenthood domestically.
48% : The reason the Democrats are elevating this -- not just on the state level, but on the national level -- is because they are hoping to be able to pin the full pro-life position on Trump federally, even though this is happening in the state of Arizona.
43% : As you may recall, Kansas put a measure on the ballot calling essentially for the capacity to change the state constitution to allow for abortion legislation, and opponents said, "They're going to ban all abortions in the state."
40% : So Trump made a politically moderate move by saying let the states take care of it.
35% : Trump preempted the Arizona Supreme Court decision by taking it off the federal table.
24% : Donald Trump made a very savvy political move in dissociating himself from the issue entirely; he said that the federal government should not be involved in the abortion issue.
