Donald Trump, who said he was pro-abortion when he was flirting with a presidential run in 2000, has been saying this time around that he’s pro-life. Why the change? In an interview with CBN’s David Brody, Trump offered this response:

I’m pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the reasons I changed — one of the primary reasons — a friend of mine’s wife was pregnant, in this case married. She was pregnant and he didn’t really want the baby. And he was telling me the story. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to him. And you know here’s a baby that wasn’t going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.
