Trump agrees Arizona abortion ruling went ‘too far’ after saying decision would be left to states

Former President Donald Trump criticized state supreme courts in Arizona and Florida Wednesday for going “too far” with recent abortion rulings — two days after he said decisions on regulating the procedure should be left up to the states.

“Yeah, they did,” the presumptive GOP nominee told reporters when asked if the Arizona Supreme Court had gone “too far” in ruling that an 1864 abortion ban containing no exceptions for rape or incest could take effect.

“And as you know, it’s all about state’s rights, that’ll be straightened out,” the 77-year-old added while in Atlanta for a fundraising event. “And I’m sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bring it back into reason, and that will be taken care of, I think, very quickly.”

Trump then remarked on the Florida Supreme Court allowing a 15-week ban on most abortions to take effect and clearing the way for a six-week abortion ban to become law in a matter of weeks.
