Business mogul Donald Trump shocked attendees at the conservative CPC conference in February when he declared himself pro-life after years of supporting the pro-abortion position.

Today, in a new interview with CBN News’ David Brody, Trump explains the evolution of his thinking and how stories of pregnancies — including one in particular — helped change his mind on abortion.

Which translates into “I want to run for President; I’ll tell people what they want to hear so hopefully they’ll vote for me”. Fail.

Don’t be pessimistic. He could have actually converted.
 
I like Trump, actually. And at least his conversion is in the right direction;)

I’m inclined to agree with you, especially after I heard him say on the radio (paraphrasing) “voters shouldn’t let social issues prevent them from voting for someone who can beat Obama, the important thing is beating Obama.”

He also said he was “fine” on all issues. So I guess a few words as he’s a’right as it were. Pathetic. :rolleyes:

I dont’ know, but we know we can’t trust Obama.

I’m glad for anyone who is pro-life. As a revert - I’ve changed from a relativism postion to a pro-life position. It’s proof that people do change.

The question from phoenix was not if we can trust Trump, but how far. How do we quantify that? Feet? Miles? How about a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a person you trust least. Who wants to guess who I would give a 1 to?

***Charity is to be preferred before all gifts. ***

[1] If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal+. [2] And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. [3] And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. [4]

Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; [5] Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; [7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. [8] **Charity **never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. [9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

[11] When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. [12] We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known. [13] And now there remain **faith, hope, and **charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.

He said it’s in the right direction. We hope he sincerely means that.

Could have. Any real actions to prove this?

He doesn’t seem to be the type of guy to really change on such a position. I think he sees Obama as weak, and sees abortion as a policy stepping stone to gain traction against a failing president. Especially with all the noise directed against Planned Parenthood, I think Donald realizes America is overall turning on abortion and best he jump on board to get elected.

Now. I admit, this is speculation, and he may have justly changed heart. And if it comes to the final election day, and it is him against Obama…I will vote for candidate professing pro-life views. However, I will put more trust in other candidates with actual records, and will not hold my breath with Trump.

No it’s brilliant. Because his original position was never really called into question, he can basically say what he wants. The way I see it, he is using the nations situation as leverage for his own motives, and he knows that if he were publicly pro-abortion, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

Now is not the time for blind following.​
