donald trump He asked his religious supporters to go to the polls this Saturday in a speech to conservative Christian activists on Saturday, where he also briefly mentioned the issue of abortion.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Washington, the former president reiterated his position that restrictions on abortion They must be decided by voters state by state.
This position contradicts the opinion of the majority of conservative Christians, and the reluctance of trump to push or even discuss additional federal regulations speaks to how sensitive the issue has become for Republicans.
“We have taken out the abortion from the federal government and we have taken it back to the states. The people will decide, and that is how it should be,” said the former president.
“Like Ronald Reagan, I believe in exceptions for a mother’s life: rape and incest… You have to go with your heart. You also have to remember that you have to be elected,” he added trump.
The comments of trump about him abortion They seemed to receive a lukewarm reception. Some in the crowd broke out into chants of “No dead babies!” while discussing the topic.
But there was no indication that the strongly pro-Trump audience would support another candidate as the Nov. 5 general election rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden approaches.
