Voting for the US presidential election is ongoing. The former president was asked questions related to 'abortion' twice after casting his vote in Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday. Trump got angry at these questions and said stop talking about it.

However, state voters are considering the measure. If approved, it would prevent state lawmakers from passing any law that punishes, restricts, delays or prohibits abortion until the fetus is viable.

Trump avoided answering

If it is rejected, the state's restrictive six-week abortion law will remain in place. When he was first asked, Trump avoided answering. He instead said he did a great job in rolling it back to the states. It was a reference to the former president's appointment of three conservative judges to the US Supreme Court who helped overturn the landmark Roe v Wade decision in 2022.

Trump got angry at the reporter

When pressed a second time, Trump lashed out at a reporter, saying "You should stop talking about it." Trump had previously indicated he would support the measure - but then changed his mind and said he would vote against it.

Trump said he thought Florida's ban was a mistake. "I think six weeks, you need more time," he said on Fox News Channel. But he then added that Democrats are radical, while he has often repeated false claims about late-term abortions.

Election is important 

Voters in eight other states, including Florida, are deciding whether their state constitutions should guarantee the right to abortion. They are considering ballot measures that are expected to boost turnout in several key elections.

Passage of certain amendments in Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota would potentially remove restrictions that currently prevent varying levels of access to abortion for the more than 7 million women of reproductive age living in these states.
