I really wish this was true. My son's wife went from a Trump supporter to saying she won't vote for him because of abortion. She isn't religious and only came over to Trump in the last few years.
I fear many women feel the same, I've seen them posting a lot on FB.
Women who want to kill their babies will always find a way. The woman described here is so rare she would have killed her child anyway. All Trump did was favor the decision on abortion to be placed in all the individual states; he did not ban it. Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed with Trump on this point, and she favored abortion.
The question of WHEN life begins is totally wrong. Life has continued since it first began. The correct question is when does a "NEW' life begin, and that is at conception, when sperm meets egg. The child who is conceived is a wholly NEW human being, never before living and never to be reproduced even by the same two parents in the future, despite having most of the same genes and chromosomes available. It is an ingenious design, even if one denies God.
I have family members who disagree, and who believe that women are pregnant for two weeks every month, because they believe that a pregnancy is 40 weeks, which includes the two weeks before conception. No consideration is given the male part of the family; only the egg is considered. In a normal case pregnancy takes 266 days, not 280. It is only calculated as 280 days because people need a fixed start, and the start of the last menstrual period provides this. That should be unnecessary now that most women have tests during gestation to calculate due date.
Also, male or female sex is not "assigned at birth" since the sex is determined 266 days earlier--at conception. Children are God's greatest gift, and He has given us so many gifts. That's my opinion, and I'll get off my soapbox now. I probably won't live to see the November election, but Trump/Donalds is my choice at present.

I suspect your soapbox needs increased capacity, as I suspect there's a lot of people that agree with you.
