Trump Faces Backlash Over Abortion Comments

Donald Trump is facing significant backlash from anti-abortion activists and some members of the Republican Party after suggesting that Florida's six-week abortion ban is 'too short.' In a recent NBC News interview, Trump expressed his belief that there should be more time allowed for women seeking abortions, affirming he would vote for a ballot measure to expand abortion access in Florida. His comments have drawn ire from conservative figures, including Marjorie Dannenfelser, who warned that his stance could alienate pro-life voters. The Trump campaign has attempted to clarify his position, stating he has not yet committed to a vote on the upcoming amendment, which seeks to protect abortion access until fetal viability. As Trump navigates these contentious comments, he is also promoting policies like free IVF treatments, indicating a shift towards a more moderate stance on reproductive rights. This controversy comes at a critical time as the 2024 election approaches, potentially impacting Trump's support within the conservative base.
