Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who was former President Donald Trump’s running mate, stated on “Meet the Press” that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if passed by Congress. Vance pointed out that Trump has explicitly said he would veto such a ban as the president of the United States. Trump’s stance on abortion policy has evolved over the years. In April, Trump indicated he would not sign a national abortion ban if it passed through Congress. In 2018, he urged the Senate to pass a 20-week limit on abortions. Last year, he praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion. In March, Trump expressed support for a 15-week federal abortion ban, stating that many people were agreeing on this timeframe. Trump’s position on abortion bans has shifted over time, with him showing a willingness to consider restrictions such as a 15-week limit. Despite previous statements in support of abortion restrictions, Trump has made it clear that he would veto a federal ban if it were to be passed by Congress.
