Ohio Sen. JD Vance, a former running mate of Donald Trump, stated on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that if a federal abortion ban were to be passed by Congress, Trump would veto it. Vance pointed out that Trump has explicitly stated his opposition to such a ban, arguing that as president, he would have to veto it if he did not support it. This marks a shift in Trump’s stance on abortion policy over the years. In the past, Trump has called for a 20-week limit on abortions and celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. However, he has also expressed openness to a 15-week federal abortion ban, indicating that this might be a reasonable compromise. While Trump’s position on abortion policy has evolved over time, his latest stance, as communicated by Vance, makes it clear that he would not support a federal ban on abortion.
