The Republican presidential nominee’s handling of Florida’s ballot measure is just the latest example of his all over the place messaging.
Florida ’s near-total abortion ban went into effect at the beginning of May. The state, helmed by Governor Ron DeSantis, had replaced the 15-week ban with a six-week one, eliminating access before many people even know they’re pregnant. Now, a 2024 ballot measure is hoping to safeguard abortion access until about 24 weeks, or later if a medical professional deems the procedure necessary to save a patient’s life. The current ban, Trump said in an interview with NBC News on Thursday, is “too short.
“People forget, fighting Roe v. Wade was, right from the beginning, all about bringing the Issue back to the States,” Trump posted to Truth Social in April. “It wasn’t about anything else,” he continued, “We had a Great Victory, it’s back in the States where it belongs, and where everyone wanted it. The States will be making the decision.” Yet, when states exercised their newfound agency in this area, Trump wasn’t applauding.
