Former President Trump on Friday urged Arizona lawmakers to act “as fast as possible” to adjust the state’s abortion policy after a state Supreme Court ruling upheld an 1864 …
The comments marked the latest fallout of the decision, which has left Republicans scrambling to respond as Democrats relentlessly hammer Trump on the issue of abortion.
“The Supreme Court in Arizona went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Remember, it is now up to the States and the Good Will of those that represent THE PEOPLE,” Trump added, saying there would “ideally” be exceptions for cases of rape, incest and instances where the life of the mother is at risk.
Trump’s plea came after Republicans in the Arizona Legislature earlier in the week blocked attempts from Democrats to undo the court-imposed ban on abortions.
However, the justices also sent the case back to a lower trial court to sort out questions about the law’s constitutionality.
Trump earlier this week said it should be left up to the states to determine abortion policy, while appearing to say he would not sign a federal ban.
