Former President Donald Trump said on April 8 that decisions on abortion restrictions should be left to states, as he declined to back a national-level limit.

“My view is now that we have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state,” he said in a video posted on Truth Social, his social media platform.
