Donald Trump on Tuesday began to outline his vision for a Supreme Court nominee, saying he wants someone who is an abortion rights opponent.
"Trump says he's pro-life. Please ask him to name one specific thing he would do to protect the sanctity of human life — can you?” Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asked (via a viewer question) the presumptive GOP nominee on The O'Reilly Factor, which aired Tuesday night.
“I will protect it. And the biggest way you can protect it is through the Supreme Court and putting people on the court. I mean actually the biggest way you can protect it, I guess, is by electing me president,” Trump said.
“So you’re going to get a judge who would overthrow, overturn Roe v. Wade that’s the specific thing you’re going to do?” O’Reilly asked.
“Well overturn or overturn, look I’m going to put conservative judges on,” Trump said.
O’Reilly attempted to clarify further.
“Your specific thing to protect the sanctity of life would be appointing a Supreme Court justice that would overturn Roe v. Wade, do I have it?” O’Reilly asked.
“Well, they’ll be pro-life and we’ll see about overturning,” Trump said."I will appoint judges that will be pro-life."
Trump has repeatedly said he would appoint conservatives to the court, but largely hasn't elaborated on the details.
