The abortion issue almost always plays out that way. this is conservatives having been vocally against this in public. donald trump being for it because of his old campaign promise, then trying to back down and not being allowed to by the rush limbaughs and the ann coulters. take a listen to rush saying, no dont worry, thats not the case, which from some people seems like a clue that is the case. here is rush limbaugh and trump. >> rush limbaugh, i think he is a great guy. hes got one of the big...
