With the election now just weeks away, Donald Trump is offering some mixed messages on his abortion stance, especially over the last "whirlwind" day or two, per NBC News. When asked on Thursday during an interview with the network what he thought about Florida's six-week abortion ban, and on an amendment on his home state's ballot to expand abortion access, the former president replied that six weeks was "too short" of a time period, and that he'd "be voting that we need more than six weeks." By Friday, however, that stance, or at least the messaging on it, had shifted. More:
