President Biden predicts that former President Trump would sign a national abortion ban into law, despite Trump's support for states deciding on the issue.
President Biden offered his response to former President Trump's statement on abortion on Monday, claiming that Trump was 'simply lying' about the end of Roe v. Wade and that Trump would sign a national abortion ban into law if given the opportunity. Trump released a video statement Monday morning voicing his support for states to decide for themselves how to handle the issue of abortion, suggesting he does not support a federal ban.
Biden and Democrats have used abortion issues as a bludgeon against Republicans in multiple elections following 2022's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision. Biden says Trump's statement is merely an attempt to sidestep the attack. 'Trump is scrambling. He's worried that since he's the one responsible for overturning Roe, the voters will hold him accountable in 2024. Well, I have news for Donald. They will. America was built on personal freedom and liberty.
In Trump's Monday statement, he explicitly affirmed his support for in vitro fertilization and he emphasized his support for states determining their own laws for abortion so long as there are exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. 'The states will determine by vote, or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land – in this case, the law of the state,' Trump said. 'Many states will be different.
In the wake of the Supreme Court move, Republican-dominated states have implemented a new wave of restrictions on abortion, like Florida's six-week ban, which will be on the state's ballot in November. Meanwhile, Democratic states have expanded their abortion rights and often opened their doors to non-state residents.
