I was wondering about that. So Trump's anti-abortion stance is pretty much playing to his base and not a serious conviction of his?

Who knows? He's been all over the place in his statements over the years. He
is looking like a fairly hard right guy so far, but I think he is just "dancin' with the one's that brung him" so far. Ultimately he may be the best possibility I've seen written by a few, a pragmatist.
i would not be surprised to learn that trump has paid mistresses to get abortions. im just speculating based on how these things tend to go for politicians who take hard line stances against social issues.
Wouldn't surprise me either.
Please don't take the following as some kind of defense of Trump (even though, in a way, it is)...
Mrs. Duffy spent most of her years as adamantly pro-choice. After our issues with fertility and subsequent adoption she has "softened" her support of abortion. In fact, I actually think she leans pro-life these days but just doesn't want to say it outright.
Also, consider that Bill Clinton wasn't always hard line pro choice and Al Gore use to be pro life.
People change. People grow up.
Also consider Obama's "evolving" on gay marriage over the course of a few months.
As for Trump, who the fuck knows?
