NBC Trump Abortion Privacy Question Made Both Look Bad?

Donald Trump's recent uneducated answer to a question about abortion and privacy from NBC's Savannah Guthrie not only made Trump look bad, but the poor phrasing of the question fundamentally misconstrued the US Constitution, as I show in this video.

The clips of Savannah Guthrie, Donald Trump, David Gregory, and David Brooks come from a longer segment of the April 24, 2011, broadcast of "Meet the Press" available online at http://on.msnbc.com/fsUTOD

The image I use of the text of the US Supreme Court case of Griswold v Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965) comes from the Findlaw page at http://bit.ly/gnXbOg

The image I use of the text of the US Supreme Court case of Roe v Wade, 410 US 113 (1973) comes from the Findlaw page at http://bit.ly/hQw6qp

The image I use of the text of the text of the 9th Amendment to the Us Constitution comes from the Findlaw page at http://bit.ly/g2ZXHD

Both, but mainly Trump looked bad. And everyone should have the right to choose what they do with their own bodies which includes popping out babies. With millions of kids waiting to be adopted around the world , and overpopulation, I think we should be more responsible with popping out babies every 9 months. Especially religious group trying to out breed everybody else....that makes me sick and it is wicked to do so.

Both.

And yes it should protect a right to privacy. That right is almost required to maintain the other enumerated rights.

@kjbhlogkh First off, the reason there is lobbying going on for what I'm guessing you mean is H.R.3 is because the Hyde Amendment is a rider bill and not a permanent one that has to be renewed every now and then. Secondly, we're talking about America. The rest of the world's politics are not of my concern. Nor should it be any of yours since we are talking about taxpayer funding for abortions in the US. Stay on topic if you want any respect.

[kjbhlogkh]

@Tocxica There are people that have been lobbying Congress to stop taxpayer funding of abortion, and yes it is the truth that there has been funding for population control overseas, which is something that you may have been not informed about! Now I want you to explain to me the reason this just so happens to be the truth!

[Tocxica]

@kjbhlogkh You can't just rattle things like that off and call it fact. If it is true, give me contextual proof of it occurring within the last, let's toss out a number, 10 years. If you can provide a reliable source(i.e. not a religious or partisan news source) then I will drop this conversation. I'll still think you're wrong mind you, but I won't say anything about it.

[kjbhlogkh]

@Tocxica There people who have been finding many ways to circumvent the Hyde amendment, and that is a fact that you are in denial about!

[Tocxica]

@kjbhlogkh Actually, I have done research on it. A lot. My Senior thesis was on sexual education and contraception usage in America. I was just trying to see if you were seriously misinformed or just trolling. No, there are no legal abortions done with taxpayers money. The Hyde Amendment forbids it.

[kjbhlogkh]

@Tocxica There is taxpayer funded abortion in the United States of America, and you have not done any research into this subject matter, so you do not need to question this matter!
