DeSantis started off right by stating that abortion 'should be a State issue,' not a Federal one. Before Roe, it WAS a State matter, after all, and anyone familiar with the concept of subsidiarity (Federalism) agrees. (No, we don't like 'legal' abortion in the US, period. But putting the Constitution into a dumpster isn't the solution.)
Then DeSantis' ship makes a left turn.
...Leaked audio has emerged from the DeSantis donor strategy meeting in Miami on Thursday. In the clip you can hear below, DeSantis strategists tell high dollar donors making calls for the campaign that:
- DeSantis’s position is keeping abortion decisions at a state level (following Trump’s position);
- That the Governor will shift to the middle during a general election;
- The campaign’s position on abortion can be described as “safe, legal, and rare in Florida” – a stunning deployment of President Bill Clinton’s infamous pro-abortion catchphrase.
During the session, the hosts – including DeSantis pollster Ryan Tyson amongst others – can be heard lauding this a “major step forward for the Republican Party in moving to the middle [on abortion].”...
Given DeSantis' apparent inclination to Trickery and Deceit Politics, this should not be a surprise.
