BY: MEGA </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Florida is set to hold a referendum on Amendment 4, which would abolish the new <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/new-laws/" rel="nofollow"> law </a> that imposes a ban on abortions after six weeks of <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/pregnancy/" rel="nofollow"> pregnancy </a> . Per the referendum, the limit will be moved up to 24 weeks. Trump, who has previously always beaten around the bush regarding the issue of abortion and related <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/healthcare/" rel="nofollow"> healthcare </a> during his re- <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/2024-elections/" rel="nofollow"> election </a> campaign, has said in an interview with Daily Mail : “Well, I do know [how he will vote on the issue], but I do want more than six weeks… I want more than six weeks.” “I think six weeks is a mistake. And I’ll be expressing that soon, but I want more than six weeks,” the former President added. “And in Florida, we have a six-week program, and that’s what I believe that you’re voting on, and I think it should be more than six weeks.” <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Florida – where Trump is a registered voter – has one of the “strictest” abortion laws in the <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/united-states/" rel="nofollow"> United States </a> , almost all abortions beyond the six-week mark are prohibited. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2oAhV7_0vFrFekb00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2oAhV7_0vFrFekb00" width="1200" height="628" ><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Republican Florida Gov.

BY: MEGA </figcaption></figure> The ban was signed into law by <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/republican/" rel="nofollow"> Republican </a> Florida governor Ron DeSantis in 2023 and was brought into effect in 2024. Notably, Trump has previously expressed his disagreement with the six-week time limit but has always refused to comment on how he would vote on the issue in the upcoming Florida referendum. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> It is also worth noting that the <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/gop/" rel="nofollow"> GOP </a> presidential candidate has also not committed to using his Presidential veto if a nationwide federal ban on abortion pills is proposed, and has time and again iterated that the decision should ultimately rest on individual states. In this regard, he has often invoked the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, which made the right to abortion dependent on the state constitution, as opposed to a right protected by the U.S. Constitution. “Roe v. Wade was all about—it wasn’t about abortion so much as bringing it back to the states. So the states would negotiate deals. Florida is going to be different from <a href="https://knewz.com/tag/georgia/" rel="nofollow"> Georgia </a> and Georgia is going to be different from other places. But that’s what’s happening now. It’s very interesting,” Trump said in an interview with TIME back in April 2024. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> During said interview, he was directly asked whether he would allow women to obtain <a href="https://knewz.com/one-question-trump-must-be-asked-in-the-debate-claims/" rel="nofollow"> abortion pills </a> if he reclaims Office for a second term. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4at5Gs_0vFrFekb00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4at5Gs_0vFrFekb00" width="1200" height="628" ><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Trump hinted that he would ultimately let the decision to impose a federal ban on abortion pills rest on the shoulders of state administration. BY: MEGA </figcaption></figure> While he did not provide a direct answer then, he promised to release a statement within 14 days of the interview elaborating on his views on the subject. “Well, I have an opinion on [whether women should be able to get the abortion pill mifepristone], but I’m not going to explain. I’m not gonna say it yet. But I have pretty strong views on that. And I’ll be releasing it probably over the next week [from the interview in April],” Trump <a href="https://time.com/6972022/donald-trump-transcript-2024-election/" rel="nofollow"> told </a> TIME . <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> With Trump indicating his stance on the Florida referendum, effectively contradicting a law ratified by fellow Republican DeSantis, conservatives have expressed concerns that he is playing “fast and loose with pro-lifers,” it has been reported. Conservative radio host Steve Deace, who is working to gather support against the Florida referendum, has urged Trump to release a statement saying that he will support the state’s ban on abortion after six weeks. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1BHS8X_0vFrFekb00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1BHS8X_0vFrFekb00" width="1200" height="628" ><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Donald Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that his administration “will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” BY: MEGA </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Daily Mail reported that the GOP Presidential candidate has also sparked concern among conservatives with a Truth Social post that said: “My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” However, in the exclusive interview with the outlet, he <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13792467/donald-trump-abortion-florida-ban.html" rel="nofollow"> clarified </a> that the post was intended to mean that he would ensure the protection of IVF, in the wake of the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling that identified frozen embryos as “babies.” “So IVF fertilization, we’re the leader in that, in the sense of we want women to be able to be taken care of by good doctors, good professionals,” Trump said in the interview. </div></body>
