Vance says Trump would veto a national abortion ban

The Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the former President Donald Trump’s running mate, on Saturday publicly stated that Trump would veto the federal abortion ban bill if one was to be passed through Congress. 
 
Asked on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” whether there are GOP lawmakers such as Sen. Lindsey Graham from South Carolina who would like to see Trump advocate and signing an abortion ban, Vance said to the moderator, Kristen Welker that Trump has ‘explicitly’ stated that he will veto a ban. 
 
“I mean, if you’re not supporting it, as the president of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it,” Vance said. 
 
The latest stand from the Trump campaign is coming even as Trump have shifted his stance on abortion policy in the past. 
 
In April Trump was interviewed on the side of a tarmac in Atlanta about if he would sign national abortion ban if it was sent to Congress and all he said was “no”. 
 
However, the former president failed to distinguish at that time whether he was talking about a “ban. ” 
 
In the year 2018 when he was the president, Trump urged the senate to approve the legislation on ban on the abortion to 20 weeks that has already been enacted by the house. 
 
Earlier, he thanked for the decision of the Supreme Court of America that decided the question of the absence of the constitutional right to an abortion last year. 
 
“For 50 years, everyone who tried did not succeed at all, and I managed to deal with Roe v. Wade, to the ‘amazement’ of everyone,” Trump said on his Twitter in May 2023. 
 
And as recently as March, a federal abortion ban of 15 weeks was the kind of thing that Trump was toying with, telling a local radio host that he is “in the middle of [the discussion] now… the number of weeks now — people are agreeing on 15, and I’m thinking in terms of that, and it’ll come out to something that’s very reasonable. ” 
 
“But people are really — even the hard-liners are agreeing — seems to be 15 weeks, seems to be a number that people are agreeing at,” Trump said in that interview.
