In the video, Donald Trump says he supports exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother, but did not say if he would seek a national ban.

The presidential hopeful says it should be left to US states to decide, but he did not speak about a national ban.Donald Trump said he still believes abortion laws should be determined by the states, and did not address the issue of a national ban on abortion.

Mr Trump said he was responsible for the 2022 Supreme Court decision ending a federal right to the procedure, alluding to his conservative picks for the US high court. "And it'll come out to something that's very reasonable. But people are really, even hard-liners are agreeing, seems to be, 15 weeks seems to be a number that people are agreeing at.""Everybody agrees — you've heard this for years — all the legal scholars on both sides agree: It's a state issue. It shouldn't be a federal issue, it's a state issue," he said.

That move was made possible by Mr Trump's appointment of three conservative justices to the court while president from 2017 to 2021.
