"The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land," Trump said. Do you think the public should be able to vote on big issues like abortion, or should it be up to elected officials to handle with legislation? Citizens should be able to vote

We should allow the officials we elected to handle it
