After months of dodging questions about his thoughts on abortion, former President Donald Trump said abortion laws should be left up to the states.
In an announcement on Truth Social on Monday, Trump said he was proud to be the president responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade. In 2016, Trump campaigned on appointing right-leaning justices to the Supreme Court who would overturn Roe.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land,” Trump said. “In this case, the law of the state.”
“At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people,” Trump continued. “You must follow your heart or in many cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself.”
“Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. You must follow your heart on this issue,” he added.
In the video message released on social media Monday morning, Trump first confirmed his support for IVF (in vitro fertilization.)
“Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving and healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and families [to] have babies, not harder,” he said.
“That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America. Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the vast majority of Republicans, conservatives, Christians and pro-life Americans, I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby,” Trump added.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) responded, “I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue. Dobbs does not require that conclusion legally and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child – not geography.”

Republican senate candidate Kari Lake of Arizona released the following statement:
I agree with President Trump: I do NOT support a federal abortion ban, policy should be up to individual states. Democrats are the true extremists on this issue, supporting abortion for up to 9 months.
In the Senate, I will advocate for protecting IVF, baby bonuses, extending the child tax credit, & providing more resources for women.

Democrat Amanda Litman, co-founder of @runforsomething, claimed, “Donald Trump will absolutely sign a national abortion ban if one comes in front of him & without a doubt, he will appoint Pro-Life judges whenever given the opportunity. We know exactly where he stands on this – just look at what he did as president.”
Conservative author and commentator Ryan Girdusky pushed back, writing, “Congress will never pass a national abortion ban… not even if Republicans win 60 senate seats. Worrying if Trump would sign it is like worrying if you’ll be able to get tickets to a Prince concert if he comes back from the dead.”

Newsweek opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon wrote, “The Right is slamming Trump for refusing to ban abortion and the Left is slamming him as a unique threat, yet Trump is representing the American consensus on abortion—against a ban and firmly in support of exceptions for rape, incest & mother’s health. Will of the people indeed.”
