Donald Trump has suggested he would support a national ban on abortions after around 15 weeks of pregnancy, voicing for the first time support for a specific limit on the procedure.

The Republican former president has taken credit for striking down a federally guaranteed right to abortion by appointing three US supreme court justices who voted to overturn the landmark Roe v Wade ruling.
