Donald Trump Opposes National Abortion Ban, Drawing Ire From Some Pro-Life Leaders

Former president Donald Trump is not supporting a national law restricting abortion.

In a video released on social media, the presumptive Republican nominee for president said the issue should be left to the states.

"Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights," Trump said in the video posted on his Truth Social site. "My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land - in this case, the law of the state."

Some of the country's most prominent pro-life leaders condemned his decision.

"We are deeply disappointed in President Trump's position," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America. "Unborn children and their mothers deserve national protections and national advocacy from the brutality of the abortion industry. The Dobbs decision clearly allows both states and Congress to act."

Lila Rose, president of Live Action, says the former president is "not a pro-life candidate."
