Donald Trump, who will most likely re-enter the Republican race for the office of US President this year, has taken a stand on the issue of abortion. He spoke out in favor of a nationwide ban on abortion – saying he wanted to come up with a proposal “soon.” But he does not want to deter abortion rights supporters with his initiative.
Trump was asked on Fox News on Sunday about a New York Times report from February. As a result, the ex-president said in a conversation with advisers that he liked the idea of a nationwide ban on abortion from the 16th week of pregnancy, with exceptions after rape or incest or when the health of the pregnant woman is at risk.
Trump told the moderator he would make a decision “soon.” “We can make both parties happy,” the Republican said with conviction.
Democrats are hoping for female voices on this issue
US President Joe Biden and his Democratic Party are hoping to score points with female voters in November’s presidential and congressional elections with their support for abortion rights. Biden and the Democrats had already managed to develop mobilization power on this issue during the November 2022 congressional elections, after the conservative Supreme Court revoked the nationwide right to abortion.
Draconian abortion laws in twenty states
The Supreme Court thus gave American states the power to establish their own abortion laws. Since then, about 20 states ruled by conservative Republicans have passed draconian anti-abortion laws. As a result, many women who want to terminate a pregnancy travel to other states, such as Minnesota, where abortion is legal.
For Biden’s likely re-election opponent Trump, however, abortion rights are a difficult issue because it could cost him important votes from female voters. The right-wing populist enjoys strong support among conservative evangelical groups that vehemently reject abortion.
