Trump says abortion should be left to the states in long-awaited announcement: Ex-president says there should be exceptions for rape and incest, but specifies NO weekly limit
Donald Trump said abortion policy should be left to the states as he finally revealed his position on the highly controversial issue after teasing it for months.
The former president did not specify a time frame in which he would or would not support abortion in the video of his highly anticipated announcement on Truth Social.
Trump celebrated the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022, which has led to two years of debate over how abortion should now be handled at the state and federal level.
The 77-year-old also said in the four and a half minute video that he believed in exceptions for the right to terminate a pregnancy in cases of rape, incest and to save the life of the mother.
Donald Trump said abortion policy should be left to the states as he finally revealed his position after teasing it for months.
“We have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine this by vote or legislation or maybe both, and whatever they decide should be the law of the land,” Trump said in the video.
He also accused Democrats of believing in “executing the baby after birth.”
