His home state will soon vote in a major abortion referendum and his comments on it have drawn a right-wing backlash.

The ban could now be reversed in a referendum on Nov. 5.
That drew a rebuke from a well-known conservative organizer in her state, evangelical Ned Ryun, who said he would never stop working for Trump."He gave pro-lifers the greatest victory in the history of the movement, and yet people want to whine that he's not perfect on the issue," he wrote. "Stop whining. Get to work."
