Abortion is yet again shaping up to be a hot-button issue in 2024 races across the country after the past year, which saw major restrictions on the procedure for the first time in 50 years.
After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, many states pursued different strategies to limit abortions, with some enacting policies that outlaw the procedure almost entirely, and others instituting heartbeat, 12-week, and 15-week protections for the unborn.However, while the framework set up by Dobbs returned abortion regulation to state governments, anti-abortion people are looking for some form of minimal federal protection.
Former President Donald Trump often points out that without his presidency, and the appointment of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, the"great victory" of Dobbs would never have happened. At his CNN town hall days after the meeting, Trump would not commit to a national protection but went after pro-abortion Democrats who would"rip the baby out of the womb at the end of the ninth month; they will kill the baby in the ninth month."After much anticipation, DeSantis entered the presidential race earlier this week.
DeSantis said he is"concerned about a Democratic administration with a [governmental] trifecta trying to nationalize abortion all the way up until birth," which he said would be an"abuse of power" and a violation of a state's right to limit the procedure.Pence, who has not yet entered the race but is widely expected to, seems more open than many in the field to use the federal government to institute federal protections limiting abortion.
"I don't believe the Supreme Court decided to simply send that question back to states," Pence said."They sent it to the states and the American people."A spokeswoman for the candidate told the Washington Examiner he believes"abortion is murder" and that, because murder is handled legally at the state level, states are the proper place for abortion to be regulated as well.
"I would hope that by winning the hearts and minds of the American people, that we would have a different conversation about the culture of life and preserving life even better," he added."But until we win those hearts of minds, we won’t win the argument."In a recent speech at the SBA headquarters, Haley said she wants to affect change at a federal level by finding a"national consensus" to"save as many lives and help as many moms as possible.
