Trump Vows to Oppose Florida Amendment That Would Secure Abortion Rights, Promises to Vote No
August 31 :
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declared that he would not support a constitutional amendment in Florida that would remove the state's present six-week abortion limit and establish abortion rights permanently in the state's constitution. The remarks were delivered by Trump to Fox News just one day after he gave the impression in an interview with NBC News that he would support the amendment, leading to widespread confusion.
His anti-abortion groups sponsored his candidacy against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5, and they are vehemently opposed to the proposal. As for the suggested modification, Trump stated, "I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks," and went on to say that he thought it was too soft.
As Trump has already stated, the issue should be determined by individual states. "So I'll be voting no for that reason," he quipped.
According to Harris, the ex-president takes pride in his role in repealing abortion's constitutional protections and has pledged to support a ban "so extreme it applies before many women even know they are pregnant."
There is no bill to restore reproductive freedom that I will not proudly sign into law when I am president and Congress adopts it. She made her choice in this election quite obvious in a statement.
In the two years following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, pro-abortion rights contributions have increased, making abortion a prominent issue in the runs-up to the election. Since an Alabama court claimed earlier this year that embryos in storage were human, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has also been in the news a lot. Later on, the governor of the state signed a bill to safeguard the treatment.
After Democrats cast him as a danger to women's rights, Trump stated on Thursday that, if elected, the government or insurance companies would be obligated to cover the costs of in vitro fertilization.
Nevertheless, on August 30th, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz rejected that offer as absurd. Present at a campaign fundraiser in the Bethesda suburb of Washington, Walz informed the audience that he and his wife Gwen considered shifting their stance on the matter in light of Trump's remarks, but ultimately decided against it.
They are untrustworthy in the eyes of women. To top it all off, they have zero faith in women, so why would anyone trust them? "No one's believing that," Walz told around 150 campaign funds. Gwen Walz introduced her husband without bringing up Trump's recent remarks, but she did say that the question of reproduction treatments was deeply personal for her family because they had used them to create Hope and Gus.
“If Trump had his way, I would never have become a mom,” Gwen Walz said. He was attempting to make that decision for other women like me, and if Vance got his way, it would put me in a lower social status. It seemed like the remark about Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance in 2021 seemed to be a reference to his statement about Democrats who did not have biological children being called "childless cat women."
Because Harris ran as a Democrat in the election on November 5, Trump's support among female voters has declined, according to surveys. For female voters, Harris maintained her 9-point advantage in July polls but lost it to Trump by 13 percentage points in a Reuters/Ipsos survey published on August 29.
