Trump denies supporting 16-week abortion limit in private
Former President Trump Denies Report on Abortion Limit
Former President Donald Trump has vehemently denied a report claiming that he supports a 16-week abortion limit. His campaign has dismissed the report as ”fake news” and stated that Trump would seek to negotiate a deal that satisfies all parties involved.
The New York Times had reported earlier that Trump privately expressed support for the 16-week limit, with exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. However, Trump’s stance on abortion limitations during his 2024 candidacy remains unclear.
While some Republicans and organizations have advocated for a 15-week restriction, citing scientific evidence of fetal pain, Trump has emphasized the need for a compromise that garners support from both sides of the issue.
Trump has accused Democrats of holding an extreme position on abortion, claiming that they support unrestricted access to abortion throughout pregnancy. His campaign argues that Joe Biden and most Democrats in Congress endorse “radical on-demand abortion” and the use of taxpayer funds for the procedure.
The report also suggests that Trump sees abortion as a potential weak spot for the GOP and that he considers support for exceptions to be crucial. However, this contradicts previous reports that Senator Tim Scott, who is conservative on the issue, is being considered as a potential vice presidential candidate.
Even if Trump does support a 16-week restriction, it remains uncertain if this would satisfy the conservative base of the party, as the majority of abortions occur before 13 weeks gestation. Nonetheless, the 15-week restriction is seen by many Republicans as a stepping stone towards broader limitations, potentially reflecting a shift in societal views on the procedure.
