Claims about Republican former U.S. President Donald Trump's stances on abortion have surrounded his 2024 presidential campaign. Throughout the campaign, we've fact-checked claims regarding his and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance's, views about the topic.

Some of the claims we've fact-checked were allegedly made by the candidates, like one claiming Trump said he'd "force every pregnant woman to submit to government monitoring" (false). We fact-checked a different claim shared by the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, about whether Trump would sign a national abortion ban if he wins the election.

In the run-up to the 2024 election, we've fact-checked numerous other claims surrounding Trump and Vance. Some of these rumors have focused on images of the Republican nominees, while others have focused on statements the two allegedly have made.
