"Trump Quietly Endorses 16-Week Abortion Ban with Exceptions"

Donald Trump privately supports a national ban on abortion after 16 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother, but is waiting until after the Republican primary to publicly discuss his position. Despite the overturning of Roe v Wade, voters have rejected attempts to curtail abortion rights, and polling shows less support for abortions past the first trimester. More than a dozen states have enacted near-total abortion bans, some without exceptions for rape or incest, and doctors have highlighted the vagueness of carve-outs for abortions in cases of medical emergencies.
