Hi there OnPolitics readers! Former President Donald Trump said today he thinks individual states should choose their own restrictions on abortion, refusing to endorse a national ban on the procedure.

"At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people," Trump said in a video on his Truth Social platform, USA TODAY's David Jackson reported.

Wait, so where does Trump stand on abortion? It's not clear. The former president said on Monday that he thinks each state should enact their own abortion law, but he didn't specify which laws he supports. That's a departure from many of his fellow Republicans, who have called for a nationwide law banning or restricting reproductive rights.

What does this mean for the 2024 election? President Joe Biden and his supporters – who have made abortion a top issue in the race for the White House – said Trump's distinction between federal and state regulations is meaningless.

Democrats also said Trump has long been a threat to abortion rights by appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that had provided a constitutional right to abortion across the country.
