Facing dueling pressures, the former president has flirted with supporting a federal abortion restriction, but reiterated on Monday that he thinks the issue should be left up to states.

The former president has sent mixed signals on the issue for months, flirting with supporting a broader abortion ban amid dueling pressures from both Republicans and Democrats.
