Anti-abortion leaders are livid with Donald Trump’s newest official stance on abortion after weeks of simmering frustration over the former president’s shifting public positions.
After floating a national 15- or 16-week abortion ban, which didn’t go far enough for many in the anti-abortion movement, Trump on Monday said abortion policy post-Roe should be left to the states.
“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,” Trump — who did not endorse a specific limit — said in a video posted on Truth Social. “Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”
