Donald Trump's shifting stance on abortion rights poses a challenge for his election efforts, as he attempts to reconcile his anti-abortion base with the general public who largely support abortion rights.

During a Fox News town hall, Trump deemed some abortion laws 'too tough' and indicated they would be 'redone,' without specifying details. His fluctuating messages have become a point of contention for the Republican party, after his role in appointing justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.

The inconsistent views on issues such as state-level abortion bans, the role in federal policies, and reproductive health services like IVF and contraception underline the complexities in his policy approach, creating vulnerabilities within Republican strategies and voter perception.
