Fox Host And NY Dem Debates Trump Abortion Stand 

Fox News host Harris Faulkner debated former Democratic New York state Sen. David Carlucci on Wednesday regarding the consistency of former President Donald Trump’s stance on abortion.

Trump recently stated on Friday that he plans to oppose a Florida pro-abortion ballot referendum in November, following comments he made to NBC News on Thursday, where he suggested that Florida’s six-week abortion ban is “too short.”

During “The Faulkner Focus,” Carlucci accused Trump of hypocrisy for criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for changing positions, alleging that Trump himself has flip-flopped on the issue of abortion.

“He’s trying to call Kamala Harris a flip-flopper. But meanwhile, he’s trying to have his cake and eat it too on abortion,” Carlucci said. “I mean, I’m trying to understand, is Donald Trump pro-choice now? Or does he want us to believe that? He’s all over the place.”

“No, he’s where he’s always been. He’s always advocated for exceptions. He’s always done that,” Faulner retorted. “He’s always thought the states should make up their minds on what they do and let the voters be part of that process.”

In March, Trump clarified his stance on abortion, stating that “you have to have exceptions” in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk. He also emphasized that he believes abortion regulations should be determined by individual states rather than the federal government.

Trump’s running mate, Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, told NBC News in August that Trump would veto a national abortion ban if reelected.

Donald Trump became the first sitting president to speak at the March for Life, according to NBC News. Throughout his political career, Trump has consistently criticized what he perceives as the Democrats’ support for late-term abortion.

As of May 2024, a Pew Research Center poll showed that 63% of Americans support abortion being “legal in all or most” circumstances, while 36% believe abortion should be outlawed in “all or most” situations.
