Trump reiterates opposition to federal abortion ban after Walz slammed GOP on its reproductive rights policies
From CNN's Aaron Pellish
Former President Donald Trump reiterated his opposition to a federal abortion ban after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in his remarks at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday that Republicans “will ban abortion across this country, with or without Congress.”
In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Trump responded to the claim by Walz in his speech by insisting “there will not be a federal ban” while touting his role in appointing Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“They say in the convention, I want a federal ban. I would never, and they know I’ve said it, there will not be a federal ban. This is now back in the states where it belongs,” he said.
More context: Throughout this most recent campaign, Trump has repeatedly ducked direct questions about abortion access, but he said in April that he would not sign a national abortion ban if elected to the White House again. That statement reversed what he said in 2016 when he was first running for the presidency and stood by during his time in office.
