Donald Trump's Stance on Abortion
Channel: CBS 12 News - WPEC
Date: 09/04/2024

The GOP presidential candidate announced his stance on abortion Monday morning.

Trump said in a video posted to TruthSocial, "My view is that we now have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint. States will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. Whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state."

Trump declined to endorse a national abortion ban and explained why.

"The Democrats or the radical ones are in this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after the birth, and that's exactly what it is, the abby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable," said Trump.

He declined to lay out a timeline for when he believes abortion should be banned. He went on to describe the current legal landscape, in which different states have different restrictions following the U.S. Supreme Court decision ending Roe v. Wade.
