Former President Donald Trump has reiterated his stance against a federal abortion ban in response to comments made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz at the Democratic National Convention. Walz had suggested that Republicans would seek to ban abortion nationwide, with or without Congressional approval.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump dismissed Walz's claim and asserted that there would not be a federal ban on abortion. He highlighted his role in appointing Supreme Court justices who have supported overturning Roe v. Wade, emphasizing that the issue should be left to individual states.
Despite avoiding direct questions on abortion access during his recent campaign, Trump stated in April that he would not sign a national abortion ban if re-elected. This marked a shift from his previous stance in 2016 when he expressed support for such a ban.
Trump's position on abortion has been a contentious issue throughout his political career, with his latest remarks underscoring his commitment to leaving the matter to state governments rather than implementing a federal ban.
