President-elect Donald Trump 60 Minutes that his role of appointing a Supreme Court justice is “very important” — and that he plans to appoint pro-life justices.
Said Trump: “I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life.”
Asked specifically whether he wants the Supreme Court to repeal the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, he said: “If it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states.”
Asked if that meant some women would be unable to receive abortions, assuming their home states ban them, he added: “Yeah, well, they’ll perhaps have to go, they’ll have to go to another state.”
The full transcript of his interview is now available.
