President Trump expresses his support for leaving abortion regulations to individual states, claiming it is about the will of the people. However, court rulings by conservative judges do not necessarily reflect the will of the majority.
“Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others and that’s what they will be,” Trump said in a Monday statement. “At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people.” In our current dystopian post-Roe landscape, Trump hopes “leave it to the states” will get him the most votes ― a supposed middle ground or compromise on abortion.
“We recognize that, yes, it is a burden for receiving states, which are far fewer than those who are hostile ,” Lopez said. “Those receiving states really carry that weight for the country.” While providers and advocates are working hard to ensure access across the country, leaving abortion rights to the states is not sustainable and, unlike what Trump would have you believe, it’s not a middle ground.At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.
