This is in contrast to the idea of a nationwide abortion limit that has been supported by some Republicans but assailed by Democrats.
“My view is…the states will determine by legislation or vote or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people,” Trump said in the statement. “You must follow your heart or, in may cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself…do what’s right for our country.”
In addition, Trump applauded the accessibility of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility procedures, which some conservatives have criticized after the Alabama Supreme Court issued a decision on February 19 severely restricting the practice.

Trump applauded the legislature of Alabama for acting swiftly to overturn the ruling.
“We want to make it easier for mothers and families to have babies, not harder. That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America.”
