Trump: I believe in abortion exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother

Thank you, President Trump. Dana, this is the first presidential election since the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade. This morning, the court ruled on yet another abortion case, temporarily allowing emergency abortions to continue in Idaho Despite that state's restrictive ban. Former President Trump, you take credit for the decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, which returned the issue of abortion to the states. Correct, however, the federal government still plays a role in whether or not women have access to abortion pills. They're used in about 2/3 of all abortions. As president, would you block abortion medication? First of all, the Supreme Court just approved the abortion pill. And I agree with their decision to have done that, and I will not block it. And if you look at this whole question that you're asking, a complex but not really complex, 51 years ago you had Roe V Wade and everybody wanted to get it back to the states. Everybody without exception, Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted to back religious leaders. And what I did is I put 3 great Supreme Court justices on the court and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe V Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted. Now, 10 years ago or so, they started talking about how many weeks and how many this is getting into other things, but every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted it brought back to the states. I did that. Now the states are working it out. If you look at Ohio, it was a decision that was it was an end result that was a little bit more liberal than you would have thought. Kansas, I would say the same thing. Texas is different, Florida is different, but they're all making their own decisions right now. And right now the states control it. That's the vote of the people like Ronald Reagan. I believe in the exceptions. I am a person that believes, and frankly, I think it's important to believe in the exception. Some people, you have to follow your heart. Some people don't believe in that, but I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. I think it's very important. Some people don't follow your heart, but you have to get elected also. And because that has to do with other things, you got to get elected. The problem they have is they're radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the 9th month, and even after birth, after birth. If you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said we'll put the baby aside and we'll determine what we do with the baby, meaning we'll kill the baby. What happened is we brought it back to the States and the country is now coming together on this issue. It's been a great thing. Thank you, President Biden. It's been a terrible thing what you've done. The fact is that the vast majority of constitutional scholars supported Roe when it was decided, supported Roe, and that was, that's this idea that they were all against it. It's just ridiculous. And this is the guy who says the state should be able to have it. We're in a state where in six weeks you don't even know whether you're pregnant or not, but you cannot see a doctor. Have your and have him decide on what your circumstances are, whether you need help. The idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying we're going to turn civil rights back to the states. Let each state have a different rule. Look, there's so many young women who have been including a young woman who just was murdered and he he went to the funeral and the idea that she was murdered by a by, by an immigrant coming in to they talk about that. But here's the deal. There's a lot of young women to be raped by their, by their in laws, by their, by by their spouses brothers. It's just ridiculous and they can do nothing about it. And they try to rest them on the cross state line. Thank you. There have been many young women murdered by the same people. He allows to come across our border. We have a border that's the most dangerous place anywhere in the world. Consider the most dangerous place anywhere in the world. And he opened it up and these killers are coming into our country and they are raping and killing women. And it's a terrible thing. As far as the abortion is concerned. It is now back with the states, the states of voting. In many cases the it's frankly a very liberal decision. In many cases it's the opposite. But they're voting and it's bringing it back to the vote of the people, which is what everybody wanted, including the founders. If they knew about this issue, which frankly they didn't, but they would have, everybody wanted brought back. Ronald Reagan wanted it brought back. He wasn't able to get it. Everybody wanted it brought back, and many presidents had tried to get it back. I was the one to do it. And again, this gives it the vote of the people, and that's where they wanted it. Every legal scholar wanted it that way.
