Calls 1864 Arizona abortion ruling too far while touting role in ending Roe
One day after the Arizona Supreme Court revived an 1864 near-total abortion ban, and two days after saying abortion should be left entirely to the states, Trump said the Arizona ruling went too far and predicted it would be reversed. Speaking to reporters on April 10 he said, "It's all about state's rights, and that'll be straightened out," adding he was "sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bring it back into reason." He simultaneously reaffirmed his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, calling it an "incredible achievement" and saying, "We did that. And now the states have it and the states are putting out what they want." Commentators characterized the sequence as another shift in a long record of changing abortion positions, invoking states' rights to deflect responsibility for the consequences he had helped enable.
