With overwhelming support from white evangelical Christians, former President Donald Trump repeatedly touted his allegedly pro-life stance.

In a 2020 letter to Pro-Life Voices for Trump, the former President awarded himself the distinction of being "the most pro-life President in our nation's history." He's frequently promoted hysteria regarding abortion and stem cell research. He's blatantly lied that Democrats support abortion after birth, also known as infanticide.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the case arguing the constitutionality of a Mississippi ban on abortions long before the viability period established in Roe v. Wade. With a strong conservative majority, the Court—which includes three Justices appointed by Trump—seems poised to effectively or directly overturn Roe v. Wade.

With these arguments capturing national attention, video soon resurfaced of Trump in an interview with the late Tim Russert in 1999, boasting about his pro-choice stances.

Watch below.

Trump, who was considering a run for President at the time, says in the video:

"I'm very pro-choice. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I listen to people debating the subject. But I just believe in choice. ... I am strongly for choice and yet I hate the concept of abortion."

Trump even went on to say that he wouldn't take steps to ban the extremely rare practice of partial birth abortion.

People weren't surprised at the contradiction.





Some said Trump's pro-choice conversion was yet another grift.




Sadly, the future looks grim for bodily autonomy.

Trump Just Gave A New Reason For Why He Closes His Eyes During Meetings—And Here We Go Again

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he explained to New York Magazine that the reason why he's constantly photographed with his eyes closed is not because he's sleeping... but because the meetings he attends are "boring as hell."

In November, The New York Times published an article that argued that despite Trump's projection of “round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina" and the fact that he "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," that image is getting harder to pull off because Trump is showing signs of aging.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons. There have been stereotypes and distasteful jokes circulating forever about what it takes to be a model, most focusing on dietary restrictions and infidelity, but America's Next Top Model took that to an entirely different place.

Nicholas Galitzine stars as the titular super hero in the upcoming film adaptation Masters of the Universe, and given our times, it's only natural the film would make a joke about pronouns.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.
