“Donald Trump said on social media during the debate that he would veto a national abortion ban, the first time he has clearly committed to a position that could appease some voters but is likely to anger his antiabortion allies,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said Trump: “Everyone knows I would not support a federal abortion ban under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it, because it is up to the states to decide based on the will of their voters.”
