Donald Trump has clarified his stance on abortion this week, solidifying two principles (seen in image below):
This is a states’ rights issue, which should be determined state-by-state (so not a national ban or a national Roe law)
There should be exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
Will he change this position before Election Day? Any update on #1 or #2 will be considered a change in abortion policies.
The new stance must be publicly stated.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of public speech:
A televised public speech, or a public speech with journalists is attendance (like a paid donor speech).
A written statement submitted by Trump
Social media posts by Trump the man or campaign.
