Before his quite convenient conversion, Trump had a very clear position on abortion. In 1999, he said on Meet the Press that he was “very pro-choice” in “every respect.” He even supported allowing a procedure sometimes referred to as partial-birth abortion, but people who don’t sugarcoat the procedure call it infanticide. Before he realized he needed the pro-life movement on his side to win the election, Trump suggested, in an interview with Bloomberg, his pro-choice sister as an example of someone he might nominate for the Supreme Court.
