When Donald Trump on Monday suggested states, not the federal government, should decide the future of abortion access in America, it marked the former president’s latest evolution on the issue. Throughout his lengthy career in the public eye and politics going back 25 years, Trump has found himself on every side of the contentious debate, at times shifting stances seemingly to match the politics of the voters he is trying win over. The following is a timeline of notable Trump remarks on abortion.

Asked about them at a 2015 debate, Trump said he had “evolved.” “You know who else has, is Ronald Reagan evolved on many issues,” Trump said.
