The Tim Scott Conundrum: Exploring His Presidential Aspirations and Stances on Abortion.

Republican Senator Tim Scott, who is considering a run for the White House, told WMUR that he would sign a 20-week federal abortion ban into law if elected president. He believes that the country needs a federal limit on how far it can go with abortions and that the issue should be left to the states to solve. Scott criticized Democrats for wanting to make abortion a federal issue into the third trimester, which he believes puts the US in the company of China and North Korea. The US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in June 2022 made abortion access a state-by-state issue.
