In a recent development, Donald Trump unveiled his stance on abortion policy, aiming to maintain Reagan-era exemptions while also supporting IVF and other measures. This strategic move appeared to appeal to moderate, pro-choice voters, signaling a departure from traditional conservative rhetoric.
However, this approach faced criticism from hardliners within the Conservative Association, particularly regarding Trump’s leniency on abortion regulations. Senator Lindsey Graham bore the brunt of Trump’s condemnation, with the former president accusing Graham of flip-flopping on his stance.

Adding fuel to the fire, former Vice President Mike Pence also voiced dissent over Trump’s abortion policy. Trump swiftly retaliated, emphasizing his commitment to specific aspects of the policy.
From Fox News:
Former President Trump lashed out at his former vice president in the wee hours of Wednesday over disagreement on abortion policy…
“Former Vice President (thank you President Trump!) Mike Pence has been doing a lot of talking about Abortion lately. He never felt I would be able to kill Roe v Wade and bring it back to the States where, according to all legal scholars, it belongs,” Trump wrote.
“He started at no abortion for any reason, and then allowing abortions for up to 6 weeks, then up to 15 weeks, and then, who knows?” the former president asserted.
Trump’s response to Pence’s critique underscores the divide among conservative factions regarding abortion rights. While some advocate for a complete ban on abortion with no exceptions, Trump’s nuanced position aims to strike a balance between conservative values and practical governance.
Trump called out Pence for his alleged wavering stance on overturning Roe v. Wade, accusing the former VP of inconsistency. This exchange highlights the complexities within the conservative movement regarding abortion policy.
Recognizing the political realities, Trump acknowledges that achieving a total abortion ban may be unattainable in a politically divided landscape. He warns fellow conservatives of the need for compromise, lest liberals exploit the issue to their advantage in swing elections.
In a sharp rebuke against liberals, Trump suggested that their stance on abortion verges on extremism, referencing controversial proposals such as post-birth executions. By positioning his policy as a more moderate alternative, Trump seeks to rally support among conservatives wary of liberal agendas.
