Trump says abortion up to the states, upsets conservatives wanting federal ban

[KARAH RUCKER]

TRUMP POSTED A VIDEO MONDAY SHARING HIS STANCE ON HOW TO TREAT ABORTION LEGALLY –

SAYING HE WANTS TO LEAVE THAT DECISION UP TO THE STATES.

ON SUCH A SENSITIVE ISSUE –

NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE HAPPY.

AND WHILE HE’S RECEIVED BACKLASH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE FOR TAKING THE POSITION HE DID –

POLLS SHOW THAT MOST AMERICANS WANT ABORTION TO BE LEGAL IN SOME CAPACITY.

HERE’S WHAT TRUMP HAD TO SAY.

[DONALD TRUMP]

“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.”

“At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart or in many cases, your religion or your faith.”

[KARAH RUCKER]

TRUMP SAYS HE IS PROUD THAT THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS WADE – WHICH ONCE PROTECTED ABORTION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

PRESIDENT BIDEN UPLOADED HIS OWN RESPONSE VIDEO –

REACTING TO TRUMP’S STATEMENT.

BIDEN – IS CAMPAIGNING TO HAVE NATIONWIDE ABORTION PROTECTIONS RESTORED.

[JOE BIDEN]

“Donald trump just endorsed every single state ban on reproductive rights nationwide.” 

“If MAGA republicans put a federal ban on his desk, he’d sign it. Donald trump is the reason roe was ended. If you reelect me, i’ll be the reason its restored.”

[KARAH RUCKER]

MANY PRO-LIFE CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS HAVE CALLED FOR A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN.

SO AS THE PRESUMPTIVE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT –

SOME MEMBERS OF THE BASE OF TRUMP’S OWN PARTY IS CRITICIZING HIS DECISION TO BACK STATE-BY-STATE RESTRICTIONS AND NOT A WHOLESALE NATIONWIDE BAN –

PRO LIFE ADVOCACY GROUPS RESPONDED TO TRUMP’S VIDEO.

[Marjorie Dannenfelser | Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President]

“UNBORN CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHERS DESERVE NATIONAL PROTECTIONS AND NATIONAL ADVOCACY FROM THE BRUTALITY OF THE ABORTION INDUSTRY.”

[KARAH RUCKER]

TRUMP’S FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE SAID

“PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RETREAT ON THE “RIGHT TO LIFE” IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE MILLIONS OF PRO-LIFE AMERICANS WHO VOTED FOR HIM IN 2016 AND 2020.”

POLLS SHOW MOST AMERICANS ARE IN THE MIDDLE OVER THE ISSUE –

WANTING ABORTION TO BE LEGAL – 

BUT ONLY “UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.”

THE MAJORITY OF STATES HAVE EXPANDED ABORTION ACCESS SINCE ROE VERSUS WADE WAS OVERTURNED.

WHILE IT’S NOT THE TOP ISSUE FOR VOTERS –

IN THE RECENT PAST – DEMOCRATS CREDIT ABORTION ISSUES ON BALLOTS FOR SEVERAL ELECTION VICTORIES.

AND THIS YEAR – FLORIDA WILL VOTE ON AN AMENDMENT TO THEIR CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS just months after a 6-week ban went into effect.

IMMIGRATION IS LARGELY THE ISSUE TRUMP IS PUSHING THIS ELECTION CYCLE.

WHILE ABORTION IS A LARGE FOCUS FOR THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN.
