Trump declines to back nationwide abortion ban, says it should be left to the states Enlarge this image toggle caption Megan Briggs/Getty Images Megan Briggs/Getty Images Former President Donald Trump on Monday made a long-awaited announcement on abortion policy, saying abortion should be left up to the states. In his video, Trump claimed credit for the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, its 1973 decision that said women had a constitutional right to have an abortion. Trump's video also contained multiple lies, including mischaracterizations of legal scholars' views on Roe v. Wade, as well as mischaracterizations of Democratic stances on abortion. In a campaign statement, Biden also accused Trump of being misleading about his true position on abortion: "If Donald Trump is elected and the MAGA Republicans in Congress put a national abortion ban on the Resolute Desk, Trump will sign it into law."
