Deep dives

Trump's stance on abortion and the influence of the anti-abortion movement

Trump recently expressed his views on abortion focusing on his support for IVF, access to fertility treatments, and his stand on abortion exceptions. Despite his previous positions and the pressure from the anti-abortion movement for a 15-week federal ban, Trump emphasized leaving abortion decisions to the states. This strategic shift aims to navigate the abortion issue in a way that appeals to moderates while retaining his conservative base and neutralizing it as a divisive election topic.
