Former President Donald Trump has expressed his leanings toward supporting a 15-week abortion ban, with exceptions only in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is at risk. His statement, made during an interview with “Sid & Friends in the Morning” on WABC, suggests that even among staunch pro-life advocates, there’s a consensus around the 15-week mark. However, this stance has sparked criticism from both ends of the abortion debate, with pro-life groups arguing that the timeframe is too lenient, while pro-abortion factions, including Reproductive Freedom for All, view this as a potential stepping stone towards a national abortion ban. The Biden campaign has also criticized Trump’s position, emphasizing the immediate negative impacts on women.
Do you believe a 15-week national abortion ban represents a reasonable compromise in the abortion debate?
