After months spent refusing to stake out a clear position on abortion, Donald Trump announced Monday that he believes the issue should be left to the states to adjudicate, implicitly rejecting a federal ban of the kind that many pro-life activists and lawmakers have embraced in the wake of the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade.

In a video message posted to Truth Social, the former president took credit for the 2022 Dobbs decision and suggested that “everybody” is satisfied with the current state of abortion jurisprudence.

“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody 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,” Trump said in the video. The former president went on to stipulate that he supports exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother.

In announcing his support for a federalist approach to abortion law, Trump seems to have spurned the federal 15-week abortion ban championed by some of his most vocal supporters, including Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) and former White House aide Kellyanne Conway. Though the former president did not explicitly say what he would do if Congress sent him federal abortion legislation if he were reelected.

Trump’s announcement comes after months of uncertainty surrounding the former president’s stance on an issue that is set to dominate the general election. After the New York Times reported that he’d privately expressed support for a 16-week federal abortion ban, Trump’s campaign dismissed the reporting as “fake news.” Shortly thereafter, Graham told NBC News that “Trump is warming up to 16 weeks.” Trump then appeared to confirm Graham’s comments, saying publicly that he’d support a 15-week ban.
