Republican presumptive candidate for the White House Donald Trump has finally revealed his stance on one of the most contentious issues of US politics — the right to abortion — amid his previous remarks about giving support that could bar the conduct federally for 15 weeks.
In a video message on his social media platform Truth Social Monday, Donald Trump said: “My view is now that we have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state.”
In January, Joe Biden campaign official said: “A vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a vote to restore Roe, and a vote for Donald Trump is a vote to ban abortion across the country.”Many states will be different,” the 77-year-old former president said adding that “many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”
Trump also added: “At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people.”
His earlier statement about supporting the 15-week ban provided exceptions to the cases of rape, incest, and when a life of a mother is in danger. Despite this position, critics say his position has not much improved.
In his latest statement, the four-time indicted Trump regarded himself as a proud person responsible” for the overturning of the Supreme Court’s Roe v Wade ruling, which according to him put the issue “out of the federal hands and brought it into the hearts, minds, and vote of the people in each state.” In 1973, Supreme Court legalised abortion nationwide.
