Donald Trump would not commit to a national abortion ban at his CNN town hall, but defended groups that seek federal action. Trump would not take a definitive stance, saying he would 'negotiate so that people are happy.'
Trump was asked multiple times if he would sign a federal abortion ban into law, the parameters of which host Kaitlan Collins did not define, but the former president would not take a definitive stance, saying he would"negotiate so that people are happy" and that he would"make a determination what is great for the country and what's fair for the country.
Trump previously drew scorn from Dannenfelser after he said the decision to regulate abortion is properly placed in the hands of state legislatures. The SBA president, who said her organization would not support any candidate that did not commit to at least a national 15-week ban, said Trump's position was"morally indefensible."
Calling the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision a"great victory," Trump said that allowing state legislatures to decide how to regulate abortion was"probably the least important part of that victory" because prior to Dobbs, anti-abortion Americans were barred from making any progress on the abortion issue.
