So what President Trump has said and what I said is abortion is now a matter for state legislatures, state voters to determine.

And there's – I mean one, that's always what the argument was, right?

If Roe versus Wade goes away, then the state legislatures, the state populations are going to make each individual abortion decision the same way that like California has different laws on a whole host of subjects that Alabama does.

The idea is that, yeah, California would make its own abortion policy.

Alabama would make its own abortion policy.

So there's a basic sort of principle of federalism at work there.

But I also think that knowing Donald Trump well, I think he's motivated also by desire for us to just stop having a culture war over this particular issue and to let the voters in these states make these decisions while the national government focuses on things like elections.

Lowering the cost of groceries and lowering the cost of housing and securing the southern border.

And I think there's actually some great wisdom in that because, you know, think about this.

Abortion has not really been a political issue for 50 years.

Now, we say that it is.

And obviously, we disagreed about it and people fought about it.

It was always something the Supreme Court said, this is the way it is.

There's no political decision making.

Every European nation has made abortion policy democratically.

And that's what Donald Trump is saying.

Do what every European nation has done.

Let the voters decide what their abortion policy is going to be.

And we're going to focus the national government on different things.

And I say this as somebody who – I genuinely want people to choose life.
