Karen Finney: Trump’s Abortion Stance, the ‘Status Quo,’ Means ‘Women’s Lives Will Continue to Be in Danger’

EXCERPT:

FINNEY: “No. But I think you’re right. Look, I think he’s actually trying to have it both ways. He’s trying to find a place sort of down the middle where he can appease the far right, which as we’ve seen in the early reactions, it hasn’t quite worked, and so that for people who are more moderate, as you point out, and who believe the government shouldn’t have the ability to tell women what to do with their bodies, that they sort of hear what they want to hear. The problem, though, Wolf, among many, is that what this also means is that the range of horrors that we’re already seeing in the states where women and doctors are criminalized, where women’s lives are endangered, will continue at the state level, because, basically, he’s trying to say he’s for the status quo. Well, what that means is women’s lives will continue to be in danger.”
