The GOP presidential candidate announced his stance on abortion Monday morning.
Mon, April 8th 2024 at 7:35 AM Donald Trump makes abortion announcement on Monday, April 8, 2024. , "My view is that we now have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint. States will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. Whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state.""The Democrats or the radical ones are in this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, had written on his social media site Sunday night that he planned to issue a statement on "abortion and abortion rights" after he sidestepped questions about when in a pregnancy he believes the line should be drawn. Trump had long argued that the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe gave those who oppose abortion rights "tremendous power to negotiate." He said he wanted to use that leverage to strike a deal that he hoped would "make both sides happy" and bring the country "together" — even though the issue is one of the most contentious in American politics, with opponents viewing abortion as murder and proponents seeing it as a fundamental women's right.
Trump has tried to thread the needle on abortion throughout the campaign. He routinely takes credit for appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, which he has called a "moral and unconstitutional atrocity," and has called himself the "most pro-life president in American history."
Democrats and President Joe Biden's campaign, meanwhile, have been spotlighting the issue as they work to draw a contrast with Trump.
