Recently, former President Donald Trump finally answered questions about his views on abortion. He said that abortion rules should be up to the states. In a Monday posting on Truth Social, Trump said he was happy to be the president who overturned Roe v. Wade. In 2016, Trump ran on a platform of putting conservative Supreme Court justices in office who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
Trump said, "From a legal point of view, I think that now that everyone wants abortion, the states will decide by vote or law, or maybe both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land." "In this instance, the state law."
"There will be many distinctions. "Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative candidates than others," Trump said.
The powerful anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America spoke out against Trump's views. The group had a close relationship with the former president's administration but has been critical of him since he left office.
"President Trump's position makes us very sad." Women who are pregnant and their unborn babies should be protected from the cruel abortion business on a national level. "It is clear that the Dobbs decision lets both the states and Congress act," SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser told the Washington Examiner. "Saying the issue is "back to the states" gives the national debate to the Democrats, who are working hard to pass laws that require abortions during all nine months of pregnancy." They plan to take away states' rights if they succeed.
On the other hand, Trump did not say when abortion should be considered illegal. Last week, he was pushed to say what he thought about Florida's plan to ban abortions after six weeks. Florida voters will decide in November whether to ban abortions after 15 weeks.
He said that Florida's law was "terrible and a terrible mistake," but he did not expand on that. Voters who supported the abortion bill thought the state might be "winnable" this year.
As a top assistant to the Trump campaign, Brian Hughes said, "President Trump has made it clear that he supports states' rights because he supports the voters' right to make their own decisions." Many Democrats, including Vice President Biden, want to allow abortions up until birth and make taxpayers pay for them. President Trump believes that people should have the final say.
Also, Trump said that Democrats back abortion up to and after birth, even if it means killing the kid after birth. AVP Kamala Harris has denied these charges, calling them "ridiculous" and a "mischaracterization." About 90% of abortions happen in the first three months of pregnancy, which is up to 12 weeks.
In his campaign against Trump's views, Vice President Joe Biden has tried to use Trump's claim to be president to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Trump told his supporters to "follow their heart" when it comes to abortion and reminded them to go to the polls.
"The people's will is everything here." Trump told them, "You must follow your heart or, more often, your religion or faith." Make sure you take care of yourself and your family. Make the right choices for your kids. Pick up your ballot and do what is right for our country.
Eight percent of people who voted in the general election say that abortion is the most important issue to them. An overwhelming majority of people support a 16-week ban.
