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.”

A national ban on genocide sounds like a good thing I’m sure libtards and fake republicans will object they love blood
Stay away from it!! States rights issue not the feds.
There is NO GOOD REASON that FEDGOV needs to be involved in every dadgummed element of the Peoples’ personal lives.
This is an example...
SCOTUS has ALREADY defined abortion as a STATE issue.
Leave it alone. It does not require further FEDGOV interference.
Best thing for DJT to say is this: “While I and others have a personal view on this issue, the Supreme Court has already told us it is a STATE issue. That is where it will stay, in my administration.”
I agree. Don’t blow it before the election Trump!
The feds have NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHPORITY over states’ abortion laws. THAT is why Roe v. Wade was stuck down - patently unconstitutional government meddling in constitutionally-protected state sovereignty. The Constitution simply gives Trump no power to do such.
If there is something that could
Lose this election this will be it…
Sounds like the deep state and establishment gop want to push this to make sure Trump loses.
Yes
Unless Trump wants to commit political suicide he should stay out of it.
If Trump is still falling for Deep State shenanigans, whose fault is it?
Abortion id the only winning issue democRats have. Trump should be careful.
Let this one stay where it is, in the states. While it means some states are free to kill, we don’t want the Feds growing stronger.
Seriously. A national ban is unconstitutional for exactly the same reason as was Rose v Wade.
President Trump, this is A STATE ISSUE… LEAVE IT THERE!
My God, why go there now? He has a lot to lose and nothing to gain by addressing abortion like this.
Live rail alert!
Pretend to be a communist, say you’ll support it with your fingers crossed...
Get elected... Then, do the opposite... Zap it once and for all...
may God help us. we’re going to need another miracle.
BANNING MOST ABORTIONS BY the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS LIKE SAYING YOU’RE GOING TO REDUCE SOCIAL SECURITY.
They are BOTH “3RD RAIL” ISSUES… DON’T TOUCH THEM!! Be smart.
Exactly. Too much brainwashing has occurred.
Please tell me they’re taking him out of context...
Right now it is a state issue and in my opinion is where it belongs.
