Donald Trump stirred the pot again on Wednesday by saying an Arizona law that criminalizes nearly all abortions goes too far.
“It’ll be straightened out and as you know, it’s all about states’ rights,” Trump told supporters and journalists after landing in Atlanta for a fundraiser. “It’ll be straightened out, and 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.”
It comes right after the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential frontrunner sparked renewed debate by declaring that abortion should be left only to the states. He said his decision follows the Supreme Court’s decision to return the authority regarding abortion to the state level. While Trump maintains this is mainly about winning in November, pro-life groups aren’t happy, saying the former president sounds more like a pro-choice candidate.
“My view is now we have abortion where everybody wanted it, from a legal standpoint,” said Trump. “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.”
And that was enough to spark controversy within the party on this volatile issue because Trump made it clear he’s staying away from supporting any federal intervention on abortion.
