Trump, Other GOP 2024 Hopefuls Struggle to Define Abortion Message

Republican base is eager for more abortion restrictions, but polls show most voters are wary

As states, Congress and the Supreme Court weigh abortion restrictions, GOP presidential hopefuls are divided over how far to go on limits that are demanded by their base but unpopular with the voters who decide general elections. 

Former President Donald Trump nominated three justices to the Supreme Court, making a conservative majority that voted to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion last year. His spokesman suggested last week that Mr. Trump opposes any national abortion bans, which some Republicans are urging.
