Trump Says States Should Set Abortion Limits, Notes Exceptions.

Former President Donald Trump stated that states should be responsible for setting limits on abortion, rather than implementing a national ban. He praised the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, which allowed states to establish their own standards for abortion access. Trump resisted pressure from anti-abortion groups to set a specific limit for a national ban, instead emphasizing that each state should determine its own regulations based on the will of the people. He expressed support for exceptions to abortion bans, such as in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk. Trump's decision to leave abortion up to the states aims to address the division within the Republican Party on this issue, as some members advocate for a complete ban while others support certain circumstances. Democrats have used the Republican Party's divided stance on abortion to mobilize their base, and polls consistently show widespread support for reproductive rights. [Extracted from the article]
