Trump’s latest attack on abortion

The Trump administration said Friday that it would bar taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortions. The move is certain to be challenged in court by abortion rights supporters. https://t.co/4eIcTUEQvi

This Administration continues to play politics with public health. No doctor should be silenced and barred from protecting their patient's health. We will fight back against this attack on women.https://t.co/DuWuUEM09I

Fox News Poll: Voters split on abortion, but majority wants Roe v. Wade to endure (Victoria Balara, Fox News) details: https://t.co/f4cut8PRXJ pic.twitter.com/UahzJVFzkT

Even a Fox News poll shows the majority wants Roe v. Wade to stand. This latest Trump action only appeals to his cult.

At least 20 abortion cases are steps from the U.S. Supreme Court. Any one could gut Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/nEyg3QZsFQ

We were right about Kavanaugh. He was put on the Court to gut Roe and he is already going after it just five months into the job.

Trump’s shutdown hurt him in the polls

He will continue to push for the wall even though it’s not popular. He only cares about his base. Sad!

Some of the polls were published before Trump ended his shutdown.

His base still approves of him.

Absolutely awful for @realDonaldTrump:
