The issue of abortion is becoming an increasingly sticky topic for Donald Trump on the run up to the US presidential election as the Democrats attempt to capitalise on his inconclusive stance.
US Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Tucson Arizona on Friday to unleash the Democrats new attack phrase – the"Trump Abortion Ban".Just minutes before, Donald Trump speaking in Mar-a-Largo in Florida, said he would not sign into law a national ban on abortion, if he wins the presidential election in November.
It has been a difficult week for Mr Trump on a pure election issue which is distinct from the legal issues he faces, starting with his first criminal trial next week.The fallout from this particular collision is still unclear, but with little more than 10,000 votes separating Mr Biden from Mr Trump in the 2020 election, anything – literally anything – can swing this swingiest of swing states in either direction.
But then came the collision that has both Republican figures looking and sounding less assured – abortion. The Biden campaign in Arizona released a searing TV advertisement on Monday, in which a Texas woman tearfully described almost dying after she was denied an abortion following a miscarriage. Others had old state laws that banned abortion that had been left to wither on the vine, but could be revived by states after the 2022 ruling.
Mr Trump is also facing flak from the other side – the anti-abortion activists of the pro-life movement.
