CHICAGO — Former President Donald Trump has sought to take credit for the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade while simultaneously distancing himself from calls for further restricted abortion access at the federal level backed by a number of Republican lawmakers.
The former president’s insistence that abortion should be a state matter has risen to some frustration among the anti-abortion bloc, who largely expect a Republican presidential nominee to fully embrace federal efforts to restrict abortion access.
Instead, Trump, who told reporters in August that abortion won’t be a “big factor” in November, vowed on Aug. 19 not to use the 150-year-old Comstock Act to ban shipping abortion medications through the mail, a position previously championed by his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).
