President Trump's announcement that he believes reproductive rights should be left up to the states has angered anti-choice groups who were hoping for a national abortion ban. The decision comes after the rollback of reproductive rights in 2022, leading to calls for a national ban on the procedure.
Monday landed like a ton of bricks with the ultra-conservative, anti-choice groups and activists who hope to see a national 15-week abortion ban.
The situation underscores the daylight between the presumptive GOP nominee and the nation’s most prominent anti-abortion group on a tough issue forfollowing electoral backlash in the 2022 midterms. Democrats view abortion rights as one of their most galvanizing electoral issues in 2024 as red states place increasingly stringent — and unpopular — limits not only on the medical procedure but also access to the abortion pill and infertility treatments.
Sen. Lindsey Graham , a one-time Trump critic turned ally, was the first GOP senator to knock Trump for kicking the issue back to the states — a position that Republicans once broadly supported.“I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” Graham tweeted. “ does not require that conclusion legally and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child — not geography.
