Former President Donald Trump’s latest comments on abortion, including his opposition to Florida’s ban on abortions after six weeks’ gestation, have sparked backlash from pro-life advocates on social media.
“Trump has destroyed both the conservative movement and the pro-life movement. He’s done what even Barack Obama couldn’t do,” one user on X said.
Former Vice President Mike Pence also posted to X, saying, “I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it.”

Georgia-based nationally syndicated radio host Erick Erickson also slammed Trump’s comments, saying on X, “Instead of having all the focus on the Kamala Harris interview tonight, Trump decided to further divide the GOP. Not a good strategy for winning.”
Other users expressed anger over Trump’s “betrayal” of the pro-life movement, which helped elect him in 2016.
“If Pro-lifers had a spine and punished Trump for his betrayal by staying home in November, he would lose so badly that no Republican would ever dare to betray you on such an important issue,” one X user said. “Sadly, he knows most of you will still vote for him so the betrayals will intensify.”
Online political influencer and former police officer John Cardillo said he would be voting for Trump, but would “criticize him when he promotes Democrat policies.”
“I don’t care how you spin it. Trump told NBC he’s voting for a Soros funded unrestricted abortion amendment in FL,” he wrote on X.
