Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump is trying to have it both ways on abortion rights.
  • Donald Trump said the Arizona state Supreme Court went to far in its abortion ruling.
  • On Tuesday, the court ruled that an 1864 near-total ban on abortions could be enforced.
  • While justices did not immediately restore the ban, their decision has been heavily criticized. 

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that Arizona's state Supreme Court went too far in potentially restoring a pre-Civil War near-total ban on abortions.

"Yeah, they did," Trump told reporters in Atlanta in response to a question about whether the court went too far, "and I think it'll be straightened out and, as you know, it's all about state's rights and it will be straightened out."
