Where Trump stands on abortion policy

Former president Donald Trump’s reproductive rights policies are centered around a few ideas: sending abortion restriction laws to the states, allowing abortion exceptions for rape, life of the mother and incest and supporting contraception and fertility treatments like IVF.

Trump and the Republican Party solidified their policy positions at the Republican National Convention in July.

PBS News correspondent Lisa Desjardins explains how those policy points could be implemented if Trump were elected president again.

This video was produced by Casey Kuhn, Yasmeen Alamiri, Julia Griffin and Travis Daub.
