In 2016, Trump campaigned on appointing right-leaning justices to the Supreme Court who would overturn <em>Roe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIn this case, the law of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that\u2019s what they will be,\u201d Trump said. <\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s position drew fire from anti-abortion heavyweight group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, which had a close relationship with the former president\u2019s administration but has <a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/newsroom\/press-releases\/sba-donald-trumps-states-only-position-unacceptable-pro-life-movement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>criticized<\/a> him since he left office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are deeply disappointed in President Trump\u2019s position.

If successful, they will wipe out states\u2019 rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump did not say at what point abortion should be banned. Last week, he was pressured to give his opinion on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/04\/01\/florida-abortion-desantis-trump-00150024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>six-week abortion ban<\/a> set to go into effect in Florida.

Vice President Kamala Harris has pushed back on these claims, calling them \u201cridiculous\u201d and a \u201cmischaracterization.\u201d Ninety percent of abortions are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/09\/22\/gop-claim-that-democrats-support-abortion-up-moment-birth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>performed<\/a> within the first trimester of a pregnancy, or up to 12 weeks. <\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden has campaigned against Trump\u2019s stance by attempting to use his claim of being the president to overturn <em>Roe<\/em> against him. <\/p>\n<p>In Trump\u2019s announcement, he advised his followers to \u201cfollow their heart\u201d on the matter of abortion and reminded them to vote. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is all about the will of the people.
