YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that an Arizona law banning nearly all abortions is too extreme and that he would not sign a national abortion ban if he was in the White House and Congress approved one.

"It’s all about states’ rights,” Trump said during a stop in Georgia. "It’ll be straightened out, and I’m sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bring it back into reason and that’ll be taken care of, I think, very quickly.”

Trump's comments came a day after the Arizona Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision allowing a ban on almost all abortions based on a state law created in 1864. He is facing increasing pressure on abortion rights, an issue Democrats are hoping to capitalize on in the 2024 presidential race.
