Former President Donald Trump, in discussions about a national abortion ban, mentioned considering periods of 15 or 16 weeks as potential cutoffs, with exceptions for race and incest. Trump, who has previously claimed to be 'On the Side of Women,' suggested that under Roe v. Wade, women were allowed to terminate pregnancies very late, even 'after birth' in some cases, a statement he reiterated in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. Additionally, Trump's comments have sparked reactions from various political figures and groups. President Biden's reelection campaign and reproductive rights organizations have condemned Trump's stance, describing it as a 'horrifying preview' of what his second term could entail. First Lady Jill Biden criticized Trump's treatment of women and his role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as she campaigns in battleground states, marking the beginning of Women's History Month.
