3 ways Trump dodged a ‘yes or no’ question on abortion

Donald Trump, who believes he’s the only Republican who knows how to talk about abortion, just gave President Joe Biden and Democrats all the ammunition they need on the issue. In a lengthy interview with TIME, Trump refused to say he would veto a federal abortion ban … three times.

The question wasn’t hard the first time; a simple “yes” or “no” would have done the trick. “Will you veto any bill that imposes any federal restrictions on abortions?”

“You don’t need a federal ban. We just got out of the federal. You know, if you go back on Roe v. Wade, Roe v. Wade was all about—it wasn’t about abortion so much as bringing it back to the states,” Trump replied.
