Although he once supported abortion, Trump admits his thinking has changed on the subject after personal experiences with friends who had decided to keep their children and the positive impact that decision has had on their lives. In an editorial for the Washington Examiner published on January 23, 2016, Trump elaborated on his pro-life stance.

... October that the intelligence community had determined Russia to be responsible for the hacks. Conway responded: "But what is it, finish the sentence, what is it that we know? That Russia is trying to interfere with the election results? Do you really think that Russia wanted Donald Trump elected president when he's going to be tougher than Hillary Clinton?". Cuomo, seemingly growing increasingly frustrated, repeated his question. "Third time: Did Clapper come out in early October and say we know Russia is behind the hacks, period, full stop?" Cuomo said.

... honored to play a role in helping transform the movement he has led into a real agenda of actions and results.".

Ignore What Trump Actually Says And ‘look At What’s In His Heart

... claim that thousands of Muslims were celebrating in New Jersey on 9/11. He attacked New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who he knew enough to call a “nice guy,” for standing by his recollection of his own 9/11 reporting at the time of the tragedy. In his gestures mocking Kovaleski — “you gotta see this guy,” he said — he clearly kept his right hand in a hooked position to mock the way the reporter’s arthrogryposis limits the flexibility in his arms. Trump later explained that he couldn’t possibly have been mocking his disability because, “despite having one of the all-time great memories, I certainly do not remember him.” Trump did not apologize. But Kovaleski challenged both claims in his statement, highlighting that he had interviewed Trump as many as a dozen times throughout his career, including in his office in Trump Tower. “Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,” he explained to the Times. Conway’s argument is that no matter what Trump might do or say that is actually wrong or objectionable, it doesn’t matter so long as people believe he meant well. Streep, ...

... did not release the 35-page unsubstantiated claims against Donald Trump and it was misleading and untrue for Sean Spicer to suggest otherwise. KELLYANNE CONWAY: No. Our incoming press secretary Sean Spicer was exactly right, as was the president-elect, Anderson. CNN went first yesterday and Buzz Feed went second. COOPER: We didn't report what Buzzfeed reported. CONWAY: I didn't say that you did but you linked to it in your story. COOPER:  Sean Spicer said we did. CONWAY: Let me just tell you - Anderson, let's back up. I know CNN must be feeling the heat today of having a headline yesterday at around 6:30 p.m. that said, quote, "Intel chiefs presented Trump with information that Russia had information to compromise him." That is just false. And as you saw through NBC News reports today, tweets from people at Politico - no friend of Donald Trump -, and frankly a lot of outlets, print and electronic outlets, so reluctant and hesitant to go forward with anything close to what CNN or Buzz Feed did. I know you want to distance yourself from Buzz Feed but you went first. COOPER: Again, you're ...
