“I’m not going to talk about six or five or seven or ten [weeks]. I’m just saying that whatever the most conservative legislation is that can come through Congress,” Scott, 57 said.
Scott again wouldn’t say outright if he would support a federal abortion ban, but said he fully supported the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade — which federally protected abortions for nearly 50 years — in favor of returning abortion legislation to the states.However, he did say that, as president, he would consider federal legislation if necessary to stop Democrats, accusing them of wanting abortions “up until the day of birth.
“If it requires federal legislation, and it appears it will, to usurp the Democrats radical view allowing abortion to the last day of pregnancy, we will stand in the gap and not allow that to happen,” Scott said. Scott was also asked about Mifepristone — the most commonly used abortion method in the country whose future remains uncertain followingScott, 57, said he would pass the “most conservative” abortion legislation possible as president.Scott, the only black Republican in the Senate, announced he had launched an exploratory committee into a 2024 run for the presidency, despite polling lowly in his own state.
If Scott formally enters the 2024 race, he would join a GOP field that includes former President Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — who appointed then-Congressman Scott to the Senate in 2012 to replace the retiring Jim DeMint.
Scott said the Supreme Court must make a decision regarding Mifepristone, the most commonly used abortion pill in the country.
