In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump expressed his belief that the decision on abortion rights should be left to individual U.S. states. This stance comes after months of mixed signals on the highly contentious issue, which played a significant role in the November election.
Trump, the de facto Republican presidential nominee, shared his perspective in a video posted on his Truth Social network, stating, "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." He emphasized that whatever decision the states make should be considered the law of the land within each respective state.
Trump's opponent in the November election, President Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, has remained steadfast in his support for abortion access. He has repeatedly stated that if Congress attempts to pass a national abortion ban, he will veto it.
Notably, Trump's statement did not address the possibility of a national abortion ban, leaving room for interpretation. This ambiguity allows Republicans to navigate a delicate balance between appealing to their conservative base and avoiding alienation of centrist voters. Earlier reports had suggested that Trump privately expressed support for a 16-week national abortion ban but was hesitant to publicly address the issue for fear of alienating socially conservative supporters.
Following a Supreme Court decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade, thereby ending the federal protection for abortion access, the responsibility to establish laws regarding reproductive rights was delegated to individual states. This shift has led to a varied landscape, with some Republican-led states enacting near-total abortion bans and others, like Maryland, passing laws to protect abortion rights. However, it is important to note that a majority of Americans believe that abortion should be legal in most cases, according to extensive polling data. Additionally, Democrats have seized upon the issue, portraying Trump as the driving force behind attacks on reproductive rights, and have vowed to reinstate Roe if they regain control of Congress.
Although Trump reiterated his support for exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother, he did not specify the exact number of weeks at which he supported a ban. He also voiced his strong support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) access for couples attempting to conceive.
Experts assert that the Supreme Court's decision has effectively granted states the final say on matters of personhood, potentially leading to significant implications for other areas of reproductive health, including IVF.
In response to Trump's statement, Marjorie Dannenfelser, the head of the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony group, expressed disappointment, arguing that by leaving the issue to the states, the national debate had been ceded to the Democrats.
As the debate surrounding abortion continues to unfold, it remains a divisive and emotive topic in American politics, with both sides advocating for their respective positions on a state-by-state basis.
川普表示由各州决定堕胎问题
在最近的一份声明中，前总统川普表示他认为堕胎权利的决定应该由各个美国州决定。这一立场是在这个备受争议的问题上发出了几个月的混合信号之后。川普，事实上的共和党总统候选人，在他的Truth Social社交网络上发布的一段视频中表达了他的观点，他说：“我现在的观点是，我们在法律层面上已经实现了每个人都想要的堕胎权利，各州将通过投票、立法或两者兼而有之来确定。”他强调，无论州政府做出什么决定，都必须成为该州的法律。
川普在去年的选举中的竞争对手，美国总统乔·拜登，是一位虔诚的天主教徒，他坚定地支持堕胎权利。他多次表示，如果国会试图通过全国性的堕胎禁令，他将否决该提案。
值得注意的是，川普的声明没有涉及全国性堕胎禁令的可能性，给人留下了解释的空间。这种模糊性使得共和党人可以在迎合保守派基础同时避免疏远中间选民之间找到平衡。早些时候的报道曾暗示，川普在私下表示支持一项为期16周的全国性堕胎禁令，但他不愿公开讨论该问题，因为担心会让支持社会保守派的人感到疏远。
在2022年的一项最高法院裁决中，废除了罗伊诉韦德案（Roe v. Wade），从而终结了联邦对堕胎权利的保护，将建立关于生殖权利的法律责任下放到各个州。这一变化导致了各州法律的多样化，一些由共和党主导的州制定了几乎全面的堕胎禁令，而其他州（如马里兰州）则通过法律保护了堕胎权利。然而，根据广泛的民意调查数据，大多数美国人认为在大多数情况下堕胎应该是合法的。此外，民主党人已经抓住这个问题，把川普描绘成对生殖权利发起攻击的主导者，并承诺如果他们重新掌控国会，将恢复罗伊诉韦德案。
尽管川普重申了在强奸、乱伦和母亲生命受到威胁的情况下支持例外，但他并没有具体说明他支持禁令的具体周数。他还强调他“强烈”支持试管受孕（IVF）对于试图怀孕的夫妇来说是非常重要的。
专家表示，最高法院的判决实际上赋予了各州在人格问题上的最终决定权，这可能对生殖健康的其他领域产生重大影响，包括试管受孕。
