During a recent CNN Presidential Debate Simulcast, former President Trump made it clear that he will not block abortion pills or abortion medication if he is elected president. He expressed his agreement with the Supreme Court’s decision to approve the abortion pill and stated that he would not interfere with it. Trump also commended the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing states to decide on abortion access.
Trump emphasized that he believes in exceptions, such as in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk. He acknowledged the importance of following your heart and understanding different perspectives on the issue. However, he also mentioned the political aspect of getting elected and the need to consider various factors.
The former president criticized Democrats for what he described as radical views on abortion, particularly in late-term abortions and even after birth. He argued that the country is uniting on this issue and that it is a positive development.
In response to Trump’s comments, Biden asserted that he would work to restore Roe v. Wade if re-elected. Trump then raised concerns about late-term abortions and the alleged willingness of some Democrats to support such practices. Biden denied these claims and clarified that he does not support late-term abortions.
Overall, the debate highlighted the contrasting views of the two candidates on abortion rights and access. Trump’s position on exceptions and state control of the issue clashed with Biden’s commitment to upholding Roe v. Wade and addressing late-term abortion concerns. The discussion underscored the significance of this divisive issue in American politics and the differing approaches to handling it.
