Trump says he will not sign a national abortion ban if reelected

[Michie]

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would not sign a national abortion ban if reelected to the office of the presidency in November.

The Republican presidential candidate was at an event in Atlanta on Wednesday when a reporter asked him: “Would you sign a national abortion ban if Congress sent it to your desk?”

“No,” Trump said in response.

Asked by the reporter: “You wouldn’t sign it?” Trump responded again: “No.”

Trump had minutes earlier indicated that he disagreed with this week’s historic ruling at the Arizona Supreme Court. That court on Monday ruled that state law does not guarantee a right to an abortion and that an 1864 law prohibiting all abortions can take effect later this month.

Asked in Atlanta on Wednesday if that ruling “went too far,” Trump responded: “Yeah they did, and that will be straightened out.”

“I’m sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bring it back into reason and that’ll be taken care of, I think very quickly,” the former president said.

Trump has been steadily positioning himself as more of a centrist on abortion in recent months.

I will pray for him but he needs to be more pro-life.

Highly disagree on a personal and religious level, but he isn't trying to be elected to lead a theocracy and he's following the science he thinks is correct and the will of most of the people. It would be disingenuous of me to say I don't get it even though I don't like it.

He’s the pro-life candidate, right?

He’s the pro-life candidate, right?

I didn’t know we had one of those.

He’s the pro-life candidate, right?

I think there comes a point in our current media circus where you can be pro-life or a candidate; but you can't be both and expect to be elected. Trump has now put the baby to bed and can avoid some of the more vicious attacks from the left. It is enjoyable to see how mad he has made the media moguls, who now have to try to reinterpret his words to mean something that they can use negatively. In the long run, he can appeal to moderate minded by saying that he at least has proposed a position that meets Dobbs and puts the power back into the hands of the people.
