No elected Republican has done more to restrict abortion rights in the U.S. than Donald Trump, but in the early days of the 2024 presidential contest, no Republican has worked harder to avoid the issue than the former president.
No elected Republican has done more to restrict abortion rights in the U.S. than Donald Trump.
The former president quickly shifted the conversation to immigration, the economy and "radical-left lunatics." And in the hours that followed, he didn't mention the word "abortion" even once as he chatted with Iowans in a diner, delivered an hourlong speech and took almost a dozen questions from voters.
The next step, according to anti-abortion leaders already playing a vocal role in the GOP's 2024 presidential primary, is to adopt a federal law that would force abortion restrictions upon every state. Meanwhile, Trump's rivals in the nascent presidential primary field have not shied away from their aggressive abortion plans as they court primary voters.
"If I was in the Congress of the United States or in a job at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, and they put a policy in front of me to limit abortions in the country, I'd certainly support it," Pence said in a radio interview. He added that the issue would likely be decided by each individual state, however.
