Trump: States Responsible for Monitoring Pregnancies, Prosecuting Abortions

Former President Trump recently sat for an interview with Time Magazine, discussing his plans for a possible second term. When asked about abortion policies, Trump repeatedly emphasized that individual states should decide, suggesting they might monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who have abortions beyond permitted limits.

He refused to commit to vetoing a federal abortion ban, stating, “I don’t have to do anything about vetoes because we now have it back in the states.”

Trump’s stance on abortion has been a serious vulnerability for him, as he has taken credit for the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

However, his position that abortion policy should be left to the states has drawn criticism from both sides, with some on the right pushing for a federal minimum standard and others on the left warning of nationwide restrictions on abortion access.

President Biden and his campaign have seized on Trump’s comments, warning that a second Trump term would lead to a national abortion ban, prosecution of women who have abortions, and government invasion of women’s privacy to monitor pregnancies.

Biden’s campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, stated, “November’s election will determine whether women in the United States have reproductive freedom, or whether Trump’s new government will continue its assault to control women’s health care decisions.”

She emphasized that President Biden and Vice President Harris will prioritize protecting Americans’ fundamental freedoms.

Abortion has become a crucial issue heading into the 2024 election, driving turnout for Democrats in recent elections and helping them win key races. Trump’s comments have only added fuel to the fire, highlighting the stark contrast between the two candidates’ positions on reproductive rights.
