In a surprising turn, former President Donald Trump declared on Friday that he will vote against a Florida ballot measure seeking to repeal the state's stringent six-week abortion ban.

Speaking to Fox News Channel, Trump criticized the existing ban for being too restrictive yet warned against what he termed 'radical' Democrat positions on late-term abortions, reiterating his opposition to terminating pregnancies up to nine months.

This revelation sparked mixed reactions, particularly after Trump appeared to favor repealing the ban just a day earlier. He later clarified, maintaining that six weeks is insufficient time for deciding to terminate a pregnancy, and cited his belief that abortion regulations should be determined by individual states.
