Former President Donald Trump boasted about his role in overturning the constitutional right to an abortion Wednesday night, calling it "a miracle," but urged fellow Republicans to take a cautious approach when addressing the issue.
Trump was participating in a Fox News town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, at the same time Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and ex-U.S. U.N. Ambassador, were holding the last Republican debate before Monday's Iowa caucuses.
Trump nominated three of the Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution generally protected the right of women to have abortions.
