Donald Trump’s position on abortion
Donald Trump expressed his support for a national ban on abortion beyond 15 weeks of pregnancy, but he said a few months ago that political considerations were paramount in the first elections since the United States Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the federal right to abortion, thanks to the vote of precisely appointed justices by the Trump administration.
This has since enabled several States to introduce severe restrictions the right of women to terminate their pregnancies, which in many cases means its prohibition in practice. The Republican candidate defends it Abortion laws should be decided by statesalthough it supports exceptions to its ban in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.

The subject was discussed in the presidential debates and in face to face against Joe Biden as in your debate against HarrisTrump falsely accused Democrats of supporting abortions in the ninth month of gestation or even after birth.
THE Harris Campaign has already spoken out after learning of Melania Trump’s fierce defense of abortion rights in this preview of her memoir: “Unfortunately for American women, Mrs. Trump’s husband strongly disagrees with her. and that’s why one in three women live under Trump’s abortion veto, which threatens their health, their freedom and their lives,” she says.
