Republicans from Donald Trump down, facing the first presidential election since
the fall of Roe v. Wade, are still struggling to find their footing on the

Trump has sought to moderate his position but carries the baggage of helping to
overturn Roe, the landmark abortion rights case, and this week he opposed an
abortion rights measure in Florida after months of equivocating. Running mate JD
Vance, like a host of other GOP candidates, has softened his stance — but found
his past support for sweeping abortion restrictions hard to escape. And party
leaders have been evasive on key policy questions such as their plans for
abortion pill access.
