Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Sunday that last week’s Arizona Supreme Court ruling banning nearly all abortions in the state is a result of actions former President Trump took while in office.

“Let me start by saying this has been a disaster for women in Arizona. They’ve lost a fundamental right to abortion, and it’s all because of Donald Trump,” Kelly said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

“Donald Trump owns this. He said just yesterday that he broke Roe v. Wade, and because he did that, this enabled our court to bring back this draconian 1864 law to take away this right, send doctors to jail,” Kelly added.

    This TLDR implies that Mark Kelly thinks abortion should be left up to the states, which is false. Trump is the one who keeps flip flopping on who he wants to oppress day to day and decided that the states should be the ones to ban abortion.
