Donald Trump refused to comment on Florida’s abortion measure, instead telling a reporter to “stop talking about that” after being asked twice about his stance. The former president cast his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday and had previously indicated he would support the measure, which aims to prevent state lawmakers from passing laws restricting or penalizing abortion.
Trump’s response came after he initially avoided answering the question and cited his efforts to “bring it back to the states” by appointing conservative justices. The issue is significant as it relates to a ballot measure in Florida and eight other states that are deciding whether their state constitutions should guarantee a right to abortion.
The outcome of these measures could impact access to abortion for millions of women, particularly in Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota, where passing certain amendments would undo existing bans or restrictions.
