Former President Trump's False Claims on Roe v. Wade and Abortion
Former President Trump falsely claimed that all legal scholars wanted Roe v. Wade to be ended, despite many scholars supporting the ruling. His position on abortion involves states making their own decisions with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
