Former President Trump said Sunday that he will decide “pretty soon” whether to back a national abortion ban.
Trump’s comments come after reports surfaced last month that he is considering embracing a 16-week federal abortion ban for his campaign platform.
“We’re going to find out,” Trump told Fox News host Howard Kurtz on whether he would back the policy. “Pretty soon, I’m gonna be making a decision. I would like to see if we could make both sides happy.”
The Trump campaign pushed back on reports of the policy last month but did not deny that Trump was considering it, instead offering a vague statement saying Trump would “sit down with both sides and negotiate a deal that everyone will be happy with.”

Read that again and realize that the jurisdiction here is only in special maritime and territorial possessions of the federal government, not the states. The States are the United States.
The territorial jurisdiction of the United States are:
American Samoa.
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Federated States of Micronesia.
Republic of Palau.
Guam.
Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Puerto Rico.
United States Virgin Islands.
Minor Outlying Islands. Bajo Nuevo Bank. Baker Island. Howland Island. Jarvis Island. Johnston Atoll. Kingman Reef. Midway Islands. Navassa Island. Palmyra Atoll.
The States legislate their own laws against abortion, the Federal government has to stay out of it as stated in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments:
Thus the Ninth Amendment makes it clear that the rights enumerated in our founding documents are not the only rights we have, while the Tenth Amendment makes it equally clear that the powers delegated to the federal government are its only powers.
Being a state issue or a national issue for everyone depends on what abortion is.
Well, in fact, both Repubs and Communists have been "deceptively getting votes" since the 1960s (Communists) and the 1970s (Repubs)...
When was the last time a GOP president or Senate & House Critters kept their pre-election word????
We lost most of our freedoms & liberties under GOP presidents (Nixon & Bush W)...
Yes it is and you’re under strong delusion
i’m not explaining anything to you- sorry you are confused.
Leave it alone. It does not require further FEDGOV interference.
Agree it’s how the damned mess got started in the first place.
The RATs are purposely bringing up abortion to split our side.
Trump should ignore calls for “bans” because the issue has been sent to the states by SCOTUS.
Trump has done what he can.
You mean like DeSantis did?
Save your excuses for someone who can remedy your heart and that’s not me
oh my God- i am not making excuses to anybody. My heart is just fine. Have a nice week but please stay away from me.
Bye.
Constitutionally a state cannot have laws that segregate blacks. Other than that, state laws are up to the people of that state. States are considered "local governance" so your voice is much more effective at the state level than at the national level.
Nothing is perfect, but decentralized and local governance is the best way to ensure enduring freedom from government coercion.
If you and yours have tried and still have problems with your state, you can always move to another state that is more to your liking.
Yes - God is the one your need
He can transform your heart to care for life
not interested. bye again.
And that’s why your heart remains dark
I’m curious,do you eat what you kill.😏
