In a preview of the statement on abortion he will release today, Donald trump posted a disappointing message on social media this morning saying abortion should be a state issue.
On Monday, Trump published a video on Truth Social where he stated that he believed abortion laws should be made by states, which could mean he would not sign any abortion limits as president and would allow states that have legalized abortions up to birth to continue doing so.
“My view is…the states will determine by legislation or vote or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. 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. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people,” Trump said in the statement. “You must follow your heart or, in may cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself…do what’s right for our country.”
Trump’s position follows what the Supreme Court has ruled ine one sense but not in another. The nation’s highest court determined that states do have the right to protect babies from abortions. But it left the decisions to “elected representatives” not just to the states. That includes Congress passing laws like the partial-birth abortion ban that protect babies from abortions.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority.

“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely—the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. “That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be ‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition’ and ‘implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.’”
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences,” Alito wrote. “And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”
Trump also came out in support of IVF, in-vitro fertilization and the artificial creation of human beings — a process which sometimes involves the destruction of human embryos, unique human beings after conception.
“We want to make it easier for mothers and families to have babies, not harder. That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America.”
Although the statement is disappointing for pro-life Americans who understand babies should not be killed in abortions, when it comes to the presidential election, Americans have a clear choice between the most pro-abortion president in history and the president who compiled the most pro-life record in history.
With Joe Biden and Donald Trump, American will choose between a president who promotes abortions up to birth and one who slams late-term abortions.
In recent comments, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, who previously lead the Vatican’s highest doctrine office, called abortion “infanticide” and saying those politicians who actively support abortion like Biden should be “excommunicated.”
And he called on Americans to reject Joe Biden’s “murderous” abortion agenda.
“The word ‘abortion’ is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person,” said Gerhard Cardinal Müller. “There’s no right to kill another person. It’s absolutely against the Fifth Commandment.”
“They cannot, on the one hand, protest against the killing of innocent people in Ukraine, while on the other hand allow the killing of their own children,” he added.
Biden has a long pro-abortion record and his FY 2025 budget proposal once again calls for eliminating the Hyde Amendment, which has protected unborn babies and their mothers for over 40 years by ensuring that federal tax dollars don’t fund elective abortion. It also calls for eliminating the Dornan Amendment (“D.C. Hyde”).
Multiple post-Dobbs polls show that at least seven in 10 Americans support significant limits on abortion. A clear majority of Americans oppose taxpayer-funded abortion on demand domestically, and more than two thirds oppose using tax dollars to promote abortion overseas.
