Democrats have insisted Trump's survival would not last beyond the primaries, the nomination, the election, nor six months, one year, or by midterms, and more. He's still here.

I will be holding the position that abortion should always be illegal except for in those cases wherein the life of the mother is put in abnormal danger by pregnancy and the child cannot be safely removed from the womb by doctors and kept alive.
