On abortion, some Michigan candidate claims conflict with records

LANSING — Donald Trump is downplaying his past opposition to abortion as he seeks a return to the White House, and many Michigan Republicans are following suit.

After the fall of Roe v. Wade, which Trump previously took credit for overturning, abortion policy should now be up to the states, according to the former president.

Some Republicans who had long fought against legal abortion now say the issue is settled in Michigan, where voters in 2022 approved a ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution.

Some GOP candidates have wiped anti-abortion policy proposals from campaign websites and voiced new support for exceptions they had previously opposed.
