Former President Donald Trump said his shift in position on a federal abortion ban is because the nation no longer needs one.
“We don’t need it any longer because we broke Roe v. Wade, and we did something that nobody thought was possible,” President Trump said during an April 12 press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
