During Tuesday night’s debate, former President Donald Trump avoided committing to vetoing a national abortion ban, suggesting that such legislation might not be necessary because the issue has been devolved to the states. “I’m not in favor of an abortion ban, but it doesn’t matter, because this issue has now been taken over by the states,” Trump said, implying that Congress wouldn’t need to act.
Trump reiterated his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, praising himself and the Supreme Court justices who voted to end federal abortion protections. “I did a great service in doing it… The Supreme Court had great courage in doing it,” Trump remarked.
Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Trump’s stance, highlighting the fragmented state laws that have led to abortion restrictions or bans in nearly two dozen states. Harris denounced these as “Trump abortion bans” and described the hardships faced by women in states with restrictive laws, pledging to sign legislation to restore Roe v. Wade if given the opportunity.
Trump countered Harris’s pledge by arguing that she would never secure the necessary votes.
