Trump Declines Nationwide Abortion Ban, Advocates for State Restrictions

Former President Donald Trump released a video outlining his position on abortion, saying the issue should be left to individual states. Trump declined to endorse a nationwide abortion ban, instead saying states should determine their own restrictions by legislation or vote. He did not provide a timeline for when abortion should be banned, saying different states will have different limits. Republican-led states have enacted new restrictions since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Democrats believe abortion rights help them politically and have outperformed in elections this year.
