Trump says Arizona abortion ruling went too far

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the Arizona Supreme Court went too far in ruling the state’s 160-year-old near-total abortion ban can be enforced.

Trump made the comment while speaking to reporters after landing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ahead of a campaign fundraiser.

“Yeah, they did,” Trump said about the court’s judges when asked if they went too far. “That’ll be straightened out, and as you know it’s all about states’ rights.”

The former president predicted that Arizona’s governor and others “are going to bring it back into reason.”

While he said the court overstepped, Trump also reiterated his position that the issue of abortion should be left up to states.

“It’s the will of the people,” he said, adding that he would not sign a national abortion ban as president.

Under the law from 1864, anyone who performs the procedure or helps a woman access that care could face felony charges and up to two to five years in prison. The law includes an exception to save the woman’s life.
