Former President Donald Trump says the states may choose pregnancy rule’ by voting, or policy, or possibly both. ‘
On April 8, past president Donald Trump stated that states may decide whether or not to implement the abortion ban.
” My see is now that we have pregnancy where everyone wanted it from a lawful standpoint, the state will decide by voting or policy, or possibly both. And whatever they decide must be the country’s rules. In this case, the laws of the state”, President Trump said in a video posted to his Truth Social accounts.
” Some states will be different. Some people may have a different number of weeks, or some will be more liberal than another, and that is what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people”, he added.
The former president reaffirmed his support for in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) during a rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on Friday. You are aware that” we want to make having children easier for mothers and fathers, no harder.” That includes supporting the presence of ovulation treatments like IVF in every state in America, which you saw was a big deal over the past few days.
After being questioned about a six-week abortion ban that is scheduled to go into effect in May, President Trump stated before in April that he would release a speech on abortion. He has previously backed restrictions on contraception, but he has since declined to specify when they were implemented.
This time, the majority of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a 15-week abortion restrictions.
President Trump suggested that may be ideal. People are coming together on 15 for the past 15 months. And I’m thinking in terms of that”, he said in a new television meeting. ” And it’ll come over to something that’s very affordable. But individuals are definitely, yet hard- liners are agreeing, seems to be, 15 weeks seems to be a quantity that people are agreeing at”.
There are differences in the timing and circumstances where exceptions may be available, but surveys have revealed that the majority of respondents support some form of contraception limitation. Incest is one of the common exclusions.
Republicans usually impose stricter restrictions than Democrats, including some that are close to full abortion bans. Some Democrats support legalizing abortion for a significant portion of a conception, with some, including President Joe Biden, also saying that women should be able to kill up until the day they are born.
President Trump said Sunday that” Republicans, and all others, may follow their hearts and minds, but remember that, like Ronald Reagan before me, I, and most other Republicans, think in Exclusions for Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mommy”.
He added:” Fantastic love and compassion must be shown when perhaps thinking about the subject of LIFE, but at the same time we must use common sense in realizing that we have an obligation to the salvation of our Nation, which is now in serious DECLINE, TO WIN ELECTIONS, without which we will have nothing other than loss, death, and destruction. We will not let that happen. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”!
President Trump has previously praised the U.S. Supreme Court, which includes three of the three justices he appointed, for overturning Roe v. Wade, a previous Supreme Court decision that declared access to abortion a constitutional right.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro- Life America, said that President Trump should confirm he supports the proposed 15- week ban.
” President Trump’s advocacy and leadership led to the historic Dobbs decision and the pro- life movement’s greatest opportunity”, she said in a statement. ” States now have the authority to decide their own laws, as President Trump has repeatedly acknowledged. To stop the extremism of states like California, there has never been a more urgent need for a National Defender of Life. There is every chance and indication that President Trump will support a 15-week minimum standard.
15-week bans have been criticized by Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations.
After the Florida Supreme Court upheld the state’s ban, Planned Parenthood claimed that the effects of the 15-week ban have already been devastating for Floridians. Many people seeking abortions have been forced to travel far and near the state to get care since the ban came into effect more than a year and a half ago. Others have been forced to carry pregnancies against their will, subjecting them to the life- altering—and sometimes life- threatening—consequences of pregnancy. Due to drastically reducing abortion access throughout the state, the state’s six-week ban will increase these harmful effects.
