Donald Trump said Wednesday night that if he appoints pro-life justices to the Supreme Court – as he intends to do – Roe v. Wade will be overturned and the issue of abortion will be returned to the states.

“If we put another two – or perhaps three – justices on, that’s really what’s going to be had,” the Republican presidential candidate told moderator Chris Wallace in Las Vegas. “It will happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court.”

“I will say this, it will go back to the states, and the states will then make the determination,” Trump said.
