WASHINGTON, DC: A day after former President Donald Trump declared that abortion rights laws should be left to the states, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warned in a floor speech on Tuesday that the American people will “see right through” his abortion stance.

“Republicans and Donald Trump can try to hide their anti-abortion records all they want, but the American people will see right through it today, tomorrow and in November,” Schumer stated.

What prompted such a fiery response from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer?

Former President Donald Trump shared his view on abortion laws following the Dobbs Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, stating that the states should handle them, according to The Hill.

Additionally, the 77-year-old presidential hopeful mentioned that he would not support a federal ban on all abortions after 15 or 16 weeks.



 

In a video released on his Truth Social site, Trump expressed his pride in having appointed conservative Supreme Court justices who played a crucial role in ending Roe v Wade.

“My view is now … we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint,” Trump claimed in the video.

“The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state,” he added.

There would be variations in abortion regulations throughout the states, he claimed. The MAGA strongman also pointed out that while some will be more conservative than others, “At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart, or in many cases your religion or your faith.”

According to Schumer, Trump's statements serve as a warning to the nation that “if there’s anyone to blame for the annihilation of Roe v Wade and the grotesque reversal of women’s personal freedoms, it’s Donald Trump and the Republican Party.”

The Democrat Senator from New York asserted that if the former POTUS is reelected, he will appoint additional conservative judges to the highest court. This, in turn, would enable him to further his agenda to limit women's reproductive rights.

The presumptive GOP nominee's most comprehensive remarks about this divisive issue were made on Monday and have been met with criticism from both sides of the political divide.

Republicans have criticized him for not supporting a ban, while Democrats have expressed concerns that his record suggests that he may sign anti-abortion laws if elected as president, which could lead to a significant impact on women's reproductive rights.

Internet slams Chuck Schumer for issuing dire warnings about a second Trump term 

People on X shredded the Senate Majority Leader for spreading fear of a potential Donald Trump run White House that would severely clamp down on women's reproductive rights.

One X user remarked: "No one supports Schumer's position that we need abortion on demand in all cases up to the time of birth."



 

Another user claimed, "BS. His view matches most Americans according to the polls. Schumer is grasping at staws."



 

Another user wrote, "Fear mongering politics...covid 2.0...dems going to try it again..."



 

One user said, "Are people going to revenge-vote against Trump now that the issue has been tossed back to individual states? I'm not sure the dems should bank on that. Not everyone is as wet about abortion as Democrats in office."



 

Another X user argued, "It's not a federal issue, unlike the border: shut the border and start mass deportations!"



 

Finally, this user tweeted, "Nope. All but the most rabid fringe extremists are cool with his moderate stance."
