Donald Trump has boasted about nominating three Supreme Court justices who were among the court majority that voted in 2022 to abandon a constitutional right to abortion.

Julian Zelizer : In September 2024 , Trump said he would not sign a federal abortion ban, reversing course from his previous statements.

The Trump administration has taken an anti-abortion approach when it came to foreign policy.
