President Joe Biden clashed with former President Donald Trump over the end of federal abortion rights.
At Thursday night's presidential debate, moderator Dana Bash asked Trump if he would ban abortion drugs as president.
"You take credit for the decision to overturn Roe v.Wade, which returned the issue of abortion to the states," Bash said. "As president, would you block abortion medication?"
"I will not block it," Trump stated before defending his record on Roe v. Wade.

"Everybody wanted to get it back to the states, everybody, without exception, Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted it back, religious leaders," Trump asserted. "And what I did is I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted."
"Every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted it brought back to the states," he added. "I did that. Now the states are working it out."

Trump made the false claim that Democrats kill babies "after birth."
"What happened is we brought it back to the states and the country is now coming together on this issue," he insisted. "It's been a great thing."
Biden responded directly to Trump.
"It's been a terrible thing what you've done," he told the former president.
"The fact is that the vast majority of constitutional scholars supported Roe when it was decided, supported Roe. And that was that's this idea that they were all against it. It's just ridiculous."
