Trump denies supporting 16-week abortion limit in private

Former President Trump Denies Report on Abortion Limit

Former President Donald Trump ⁤has vehemently denied a report claiming that he supports a 16-week abortion limit. ​His campaign ​has dismissed the report as ⁣”fake ⁤news” and stated⁢ that Trump ⁤would seek to negotiate​ a deal⁢ that satisfies all parties involved.

The New York Times had reported earlier that​ Trump privately expressed support for the 16-week ⁢limit,⁢ with exceptions for cases ​of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. However, Trump’s stance on abortion limitations ⁤during ⁣his 2024 candidacy remains unclear.

While some Republicans and organizations have advocated for a 15-week restriction, citing scientific evidence of fetal​ pain, Trump has emphasized the⁣ need for a compromise⁤ that garners support from both sides of⁤ the issue.

Trump has accused Democrats​ of holding an extreme position on abortion, claiming that they support unrestricted access to abortion throughout pregnancy. His campaign argues​ that Joe​ Biden and⁤ most Democrats ‌in ​Congress endorse “radical on-demand abortion” and the use of taxpayer ⁢funds⁢ for the procedure.

The report also suggests that​ Trump sees abortion as a potential weak⁣ spot for ​the GOP⁤ and that he considers​ support ‌for exceptions to be crucial. However, this contradicts previous reports that Senator Tim Scott, who is conservative on the issue, is being‍ considered‍ as a potential‍ vice presidential ⁢candidate.

Even if Trump‍ does​ support a 16-week⁤ restriction, it remains ‍uncertain if this⁢ would satisfy​ the conservative base of the party, as the majority‍ of abortions occur before 13 weeks ‍gestation. Nonetheless,⁢ the‌ 15-week restriction​ is seen by many Republicans as a stepping‍ stone towards broader⁢ limitations, potentially⁢ reflecting a shift in societal views on the procedure.
