Former President Trump says he has “no regrets” that his handpicked Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to an abortion.
“The federal government should have nothing to do with this issue. It’s being solved at the state level, and people are very happy about it,” Trump said in an interview with CBS News. “No regrets, no. I wouldn’t have regrets. I did something most people felt was undoable.”
The former president has repeatedly boasted about his role in ending Roe v. Wade, even as he and the Republican Party have broadly tried to stay away from engaging on such a divisive issue.
Abortion has galvanized Democrats in the two years since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned Roe, and Trump has struggled with whether to embrace or downplay his role in the matter.
Democrats are campaigning on protecting abortion rights, and Vice President Harris, their presidential nominee, has been the administration’s point person on reproductive rights. Harris has pledged to fight to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade across all states.
Trump has settled on the position that abortion policy is up to the states, taking credit for ending Roe and falsely claiming that “all legal scholars, all Democrats, all Republicans” have been trying to let the states decide their own abortion policies for 52 years.
