CNN —Former President Donald Trump said Monday that abortion rights should be left to the states, offering his clearest stance yet on one of the most delicate and contentious issues in American politics.
In this case, the law of the state,” Trump said in a video posted to his Truth Social account.
Trump told reporters last week that he would be making a “statement” on abortion when pressed about Florida’s six-week abortion ban, which is set to become law after a recent state Supreme Court ruling.
That includes Trump’s home state of Florida, where a six-week abortion ban will take effect in a matter of weeks.
Trump in his statement Monday acknowledged that voters will ultimately decide the fate of abortion access in some states.
