In a statement following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade in a 6-3 vote, former President Donald Trump said that the June 24 decision was ‘the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation.’
Trump also said that the decision only happened because Trump ‘delivered’ on ‘everything’ he promised.
The former ‘Apprentice’ host appointed three conservatives, Neal Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, all of whom voted to overturn.
In the statement, Trump said it his ‘great honor’ to appoint conservative judges. He continued: ‘I did not cave to the Radical Left Democrats, their partners in the Fake News Media, or the RINOs who are likewise the true, but silent, enemy of the people.’
Trump continued: ‘These major Victories prove that even though the Radical Left is doing everything in their power to destroy our Country, your Rights are being protected, the Country is being defended, and there is still hope and time to Save America!’
He concluded: ‘I will never stop fighting for the Great People of our Nation!’
Famously, despite not winning the popular vote, serving one term as president and being impeached twice, Trump was afforded three picks on the Supreme Court.
Since 1973, the landmark Roe v Wade decision permitted abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy.
The decision to overturn was based on conservative Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion that was ratified by the court’s five other conservatives.
Following Friday’s vote, the issue of abortion will be decided on by the states.
