“I believe there is a possibility that they may pursue that course of action. However, in order to get a definitive answer, it would be best to reach out to the respective states,” Trump replied.
Trump was asked by Time whether he would vote for an abortion referendum in Florida in November that aims to overturn the state’s six-week abortion ban. Instead of directly answering the question, he avoided it. However, he did reiterate his belief that the six-week time frame is “too severe.”

“I won’t disclose my voting preference,” he stated. “I simply emphasize that the state will ultimately decide.”
In the Time article, Trump outlined his plans for a potential second term, detailing his approach to addressing illegal immigration by implementing stricter regulations and conducting extensive deportations. He also emphasized his intention to impose additional tariffs on foreign products, among other measures.
As the general election battle against President Joe Biden intensifies, Trump is now attempting to adopt a more cautious position on abortion.
In early April, he expressed his belief that the matter of abortion access should be determined by individual states, now that the nationwide protections provided by Roe v. Wade have been overturned. He also emphasized the importance of including exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the pregnant woman is at risk.
“You have to trust your instincts on this matter, however, it’s important to keep in mind that winning elections is crucial for reviving our culture and, in reality, rescuing our country from its current state of decline. Always listen to your heart, but never forget the importance of winning. It is imperative that we emerge victorious as a nation that is currently faltering,” he emphasized.
He has repeatedly emphasized his role in ending Roe by naming three of the U.S. Supreme Court justices who overturned it in 2022.
He has expressed his disagreement with certain abortion policies, specifically criticizing the ban in Arizona that dates back to the Civil War era. He believes that this ban goes beyond acceptable limits and should not be enforced.
In an interview with Time, Trump was hesitant to promise that he would veto a federal abortion ban as president if it were passed by Congress. However, he had previously stated that he would not sign such a law.
In an interview with Time, he confidently stated that he does not need to commit to it because it will never happen. He emphasized that the issue at hand is about states’ rights and the desire to distance oneself from the federal government, rather than re-entering it.
Trump also refused to comment on whether he would use his veto power to reject a federal law banning abortion pills such as mifepristone. He pointed out that it is currently up to individual states to make these decisions. However, he did mention that he holds strong opinions on the matter and hinted that he may share them in the coming week.
“I will be leaving the decision-making up to each individual state. It’s important to recognize that different states will have varying perspectives on this matter. While some states may choose to move forward, others may decide against it. For instance, Texas and Ohio may have contrasting approaches due to their unique circumstances,” he explained.
The Biden campaign and President Trump himself have both criticized Trump’s involvement in overturning Roe v. Wade and implementing abortion bans nationwide. Some abortion opponents have also questioned Trump’s inconsistent stance on the issue.
“It’s irrelevant where you live in America,” remarked Biden during a recent speech. “This issue transcends states’ rights; it’s a matter of women’s rights.”
Biden’s campaign manager strongly criticized Trump’s recent comments to Time, stating that the upcoming November election will have a significant impact on women’s reproductive freedom. The statement emphasized the potential consequences of Trump’s administration and its continued efforts to exert control over women’s healthcare decisions.
