Former President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that he would veto any federal abortion ban if presented with one during a potential second term. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized, “Everyone knows I would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it, because it is up to the states to decide.” This statement came during the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, where abortion was a key issue.
Previously, during a September 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump declined to answer whether he would veto a national ban. He reiterated that the issue was now up to the states following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Democrats, including Harris’s campaign spokesperson, have expressed concern that Trump could impose national abortion restrictions through the 1873 Comstock Act. The Harris campaign has focused on preserving abortion access, with Harris pledging to codify Roe into law if reelected. Polls suggest Trump is struggling with women voters on the abortion issue.
