Don’t worry, abortion isn’t an important issue and at any rate it’s been Sent Back to the States*:

In one of his most bizarre interviews in recent memory, Donald Trump insisted abortion is “not that big of an issue,” claimed Republicans are the “party of fertilization” and said every legal scholar in the world supported overturning Roe v. Wade.

During an interview last week with a local Michigan TV station FOX-2 Detroit, Trump repeatedly downplayed the significance of abortion rights on the national stage ― despite it being a driving factor in Democrats’ strong performance at the ballot box in the aftermath of the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Recent polling shows many voters see the 2024 election as a high-stakes election for the future of abortion and contraception access. President Joe Biden has made the issue central to his campaign, as have countless Democratic candidates.

“I think the abortion issue should be largely taken off the table because the individual states are doing what they’re doing,” the GOP presidential hopeful said.

“It’s really not that big of an issue,” he added.

Trump suggested it was actually a good thing for women that the 6-3 conservative-led court overturned a 50-year precedent guaranteeing women a constitutional right to abortion. He put three of those conservative justices onto the court when he was president.

“I say, what the people decide, and whatever it is, it’s within the state and what the people decide, and it’s working out,” he said. “For many, many years, people have said we’ve got to bring this back to the states to decide, and that’s now working.”

As dumb as this is, this is also a message Trump would have gotten a lot from the media he consumed when he consumed media other than Fox News — “overruling Roe would be no big deal to me…I mean, anyone” was one of the most surefire way of getting a column published for years. But this isn’t rube-running about Mr. Potato Head’s gender — people will notice when access to abortion is taken away and a large majority of people will never like it.

But don’t worry — we’re a week or two from his revealing his secret abortion policy everyone will like.
