¶ Parkinson Praised Trump For Pushing A 16-Week Abortion Ban
[VIDEO] Parkinson Claimed That Donald Trump Was “Smart” For Pushing A 16-Week Abortion Ban. “I think that we need to remind everybody that Tim Kaine and our former governor, Ralph Northam, shared the exact same policy position, which is a disgusting position of abortion all the way up to birth and even after birth abortions, which is known as infanticide. The Democrats are the extremists on this issue. And, you know, I think that there's obviously a lot of pro-life people in Virginia that think, okay, whatever it is, if it's going to be 16 weeks, 15 weeks, with three exceptions, whatever the Dobbs decision is, you know, obviously returning the abortion to the people's elected representatives. And that precedent was prior to Roe decided in the states. So I think that it's smart for President Trump to take this position. But ultimately, you're going to have a different policy in Virginia compared to Oklahoma or California or New York. I'm a pro-life conservative. I've got four children. I care about what the future of our economy and our communities looks like for them. And I'm just not going to get bogged down on this issue.” [John Fredericks Show, 2/20/24]
