Donald Trump on Thursday criticized Florida’s six-week abortion ban, saying in an interview that it was “too short,” suggesting that he’d vote in favor of a constitutional amendment to overturn it later this year.

“I think the six weeks is too short, it has to be more time,” the former president told NBC News during a Michigan campaign stop.

He added, when pressed about his plans to vote on the amendment in November, that he would “be voting that we need more than six weeks.” He also expressed support for exceptions in the law for rape, incest, and when necessary to protect the life of the mother, according to NPR.
