Donald Trump has been saying that he would work out a “deal” on abortion that would please everybody. He finally announced his position. He would just leave it to the states.
After all, that’s what the overturn of Roe v. Wade meant. States, not the federal government, would decide on the abortion laws in their jurisdiction. Some states would freely permit abortion, whereas others could ban or severely restrict the procedure.
Pro-lifers would love a national ban. Some Republican politicians have proposed a compromise, a 15-week limit nationwide–but what would that do? A human life would still be snuffed out.
