'We'll see what happens,' Trump says of abortion laws

President-elect Donald Trump addressed many questions about campaign promises made earlier in the year in a post-election interview Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes."

At the forefront of many Americans' minds is the Supreme Court, and what it will look like under a Trump presidency.

"Here's what's going to happen," Trump told journalist Lesley Stahl. "I'm pro-life. The judges are going to be pro-life."

Stahl pressed him specifically on the issue of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that allows for women to have abortions, and whether it will be over turned.

Trump focused on the Supreme Court in general, reiterating that justices will be anti-abortion.

"They'll be, in terms of the whole gun situation, we know the Second Amendment, and everyone's talking about the Second Amendment. They will be very pro-Second Amendment," he said. "But having to do with abortion, if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states."

When Stahl pointed out that it would mean that some women wouldn't be able to get an abortion under state laws, Trump suggested that they go to another state.

"We'll see what happens. It has a long way to go ... That has a long, long way to go," he said.
