In a series of events that highlight the contentious nature of abortion within the GOP, Donald Trump has once again stirred the political pot with his fluctuating positions on reproductive rights.
Despite previously declaring the abortion debate in America as settled, Trump's recent comments and proposals, including a surprising pivot towards supporting IVF, underscore his ongoing struggle to align with the post-Roe political landscape.
