WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden is placing reproductive rights at the forefront of his re-election campaign, contrasting his stance with that of opponent Donald Trump, whom he blames for enabling stricter state abortion laws. Biden’s campaign emphasizes a commitment to protecting and expanding reproductive rights, particularly against recent state-level restrictions.

In contrast, former President Trump, in his presidential campaigns, adopted a more moderate position on abortion compared to many other Republicans. While Trump has expressed anti-abortion views and aligned with conservative values, his stance has not been as hardline as some factions within the GOP. This positioning reflects broader divisions within the Republican Party on how to address abortion rights, with Trump’s approach reflecting a blend of conservative principles and electoral pragmatism.

The clash between Biden and Trump on this issue underscores the ongoing national debate over reproductive rights and the role of the federal government in safeguarding access to abortion services.
