South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is considering reintroducing legislation this week in response to current events. Speculation is rife that he may be a potential candidate for the vice presidential ticket, with betting websites placing him as the frontrunner. However, a point of contention between Senator Scott and President Trump appears to be the issue of abortion.
During his campaign in Iowa, Senator Scott criticized those, including President Trump, who he believed would not support a federal ban on abortion. While President Trump has stated that he would not sign a federal ban, opting to leave the matter to individual states, Senator Scott remains a staunch advocate for national protections for the unborn.
Senator Scott expressed concern over states that allow abortions up to the due date, highlighting the extreme positions some Democrats have taken on the issue. He finds the idea of infanticide abhorrent and believes that the Supreme Court's stance, treating abortion as a state matter, is consistent with the Constitution.
Despite the differing views between Senator Scott and President Trump, both agree that the issue of abortion should be decided at the state level. They argue that this approach aligns with the Supreme Court's rulings and respects states' rights, while also acknowledging the extreme positions taken by some on the left.
