Rose defendant Citing Trump’s criticism of Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban, the former president said he had “backtracked” on his approach to the pro-life movement.

“If you spend your time listening to what the opposition says is politically possible or the media says it is politically possible, you will not make any progress. Full legal protection means being uncompromising, aggressive and bold in your pro-life strategy,” Rose said in an interview.
It’s not the first time Rose has lashed out at a former president, and Law’s appointees played a key role in helping a Supreme Court justice overturn him. In April, Rose tweeted that Trump had “disqualified” as president for saying abortions should be left to states.

Pressed by Fox for comment, a Trump spokesperson responded to Rose’s recent remarks.
“President Trump’s unparalleled track record includes appointing pro-life federal and Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending taxpayer abortion, reviving the Mexico City policy to protect fetal lives abroad, It speaks to many other actions, defending the life of the unborn child,” a spokesperson told Fox. “No one has supported the movement more than President Trump. The SBA recently praised Trump’s inauguration as “the greatest impact in American history for the pro-life cause.” Compared to Joe Biden’s disgusting record of using US taxpayers’ money to fund the murder of the most vulnerable, abortion at the request of Joe Biden, it’s clear that President Trump needs to be returned to the White House. is. “
Rose acknowledged that the pro-life movement has moved forward under Trump, but stressed that the movement should avoid “blind loyalty” to Trump.
“We can say, ‘Yes, I’m glad Roe v. Wade was overturned.’ And yes, it’s because the Trump administration, and ultimately Trump, appointed these judges.” There are many other factors at play,” Rose told Fox, adding that in recent remarks Trump was “actually attacking the pro-life movement.”
