Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed pride in his role in overturning the national constitutional right to an abortion by appointing three conservative justices to the US Supreme Court.The shifting message illustrates how the issue has become a major liability for the former president in one of the handful of swing states that could decide the November election.
However, his messaging in the aftermath of the Arizona ruling that a ban on the books since 1864 is constitutional illustrates his struggle to neutralise what has become a potent political weapon for Democrats. Mr Trump's demand for the state to ease its abortion law came just days after he said abortion rights should be left to the states to decide. At the time he added: "and whatever they decide must be the law of the land — in this case, the law of the state.""The Governor and the Arizona Legislature must use HEART, COMMON SENSE, and ACT IMMEDIATELY, to remedy what has happened," Trump wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform.
The Legislature's most vocal critics of repealing the law are among the body's most devoted Trump supporters. But the Arizona Supreme Court ruling the next day showed what can happen when the issue is left to states.
