Former President Donald Trump has publicly taken credit for the termination of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision that had legalized abortion nationwide for nearly 52 years. Trump praised the six Supreme Court Justices who played a pivotal role in overturning the decision. He emphasized his role in the process, stating, 'I was successful in terminating Roe.' Trump also hinted at further actions he plans to take regarding the FDA, US attorneys, and additional judicial appointments. Despite his strong stance, he claimed to 'believe in exceptions' on abortion. The termination was sought by Republicans, Democrats, and legal scholars.
