Biden interjected to deny Trump's claims, stating that Roe v. Wade does not allow for late-term abortion except in cases where the woman's life is in danger. However, independent voter approval of Biden's comments declined as he attempted to defend his position.

Trump refuted Biden's claim that Roe v. Wade had been the law for 51 years, arguing that it had been struck down by the Supreme Court. He accused Biden of being willing to sign a bill banning abortion at various stages of pregnancy if the Republicans regain control of Congress.

Independent voters expressed skepticism about Biden's pledge to veto any nationwide abortion ban, suggesting that his past actions suggest otherwise. They also questioned his ability to effectively protect abortion rights in the face of Republican opposition.

Trump stated that he would not block access to abortion pills or abortion medication if elected. This stance aligns with his previous comments expressing support for access to abortion in certain circumstances.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, ending the nationwide constitutional right to abortion. This ruling has sparked intense debate and protests across the country.

The Fox News Digital focus group provides valuable insights into the opinions of independent voters on the issue of abortion. Their overwhelming support for Trump's comments indicates that Biden's stance on late-term abortion and the sanctity of human life may alienate this crucial voter bloc.
