(LifeSiteNews) – Former president Donald Trump is giving credit to God for the historic victory of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“God made the decision,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News, when asked whether he felt he played a role in the undoing of Roe.
Trump is widely seen as instrumental in the decision, since he appointed three justices who decisively tipped the ideological scales of the court in favor of conservatism: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
“This brings everything back to the states where it has always belonged,” Trump added. “This is following the Constitution, and giving rights back when they should have been given long ago.”
The same day, Florida governor Ron DeSantis suggested the ruling was God’s answer, via the Supreme Court, to prayer. Like Trump, he framed the decision as a correct interpretation of the Constitution.
DeSantis tweeted Friday, “By properly interpreting the Constitution, the Supreme Court has answered the prayers of millions upon millions of Americans.” He further pledged to “expand pro-life protections” and “stand for life by promoting adoption, foster care, and child welfare.”
