In a statement following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade in a 6-3 vote, former President Donald Trump said that the June 24 decision was 'the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation.'
Trump also said that the decision only happened because Trump 'delivered' on 'everything' he promised.
The former 'Apprentice' host appointed three conservatives, Neal Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, all of whom voted to overturn.
In the statement, Trump said it his 'great honor' to appoint conservative judges. He continued: 'I did not cave to the Radical Left Democrats, their partners in the Fake News Media, or the RINOs who are likewise the true, but silent, enemy of the people.'
Trump continued: 'These major Victories prove that even though the Radical Left is doing everything in their power to destroy our Country, your Rights are being protected, the Country is being defended, and there is still hope and time to Save America!'
He concluded: 'I will never stop fighting for the Great People of our Nation!'
Famously, despite not winning the popular vote, serving one term as president and being impeached twice, Trump was afforded three picks on the Supreme Court.
Since 1973, the landmark Roe v Wade decision permitted abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy.
The decision to overturn was based on conservative Justice Samuel Alito's opinion that was ratified by the court's five other conservatives.
Following Friday's vote, the issue of abortion will be decided on by the states.
The former president said in an interview with Fox News that 'God' made the decision to overturn Roe v Wade
Trump earlier told shortly after the results of the vote was made public: 'This is following the Constitution, and giving rights back when they should have been given long ago.'
When asked about how his reaction would go down among his pro-choice supporters, Trump said: 'I think, in the end, this is something that will work out for everybody. This brings everything back to the states where it has always belonged.'
Trump initially played down his influence on the June 2022 decision saying: 'God made the decision.'
Donald Trump Jr., congratulated his father on paving the way for the Supreme Court's decision
The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was also triumphant in a series of tweets that he posted the ruling.
Trump Jr. wrote: 'When nearly any other Republican President would have folded to the pressure from the left and the media, Donald J. Trump stood by Kavanaugh and refused to budge. And today, conservatives just got our biggest win from the Supreme Court in a generation.'
In another message, Trump Jr. said: 'Don't be gaslit by the leftwing media: The Democrat position on abortion is late-term abortion on demand with zero limits...They are FAR outside the mainstream.'
He later compared the outrage over the June 24 decision to Covid-19 vaccine mandates saying: 'The libs crying today about "my body, my choice" because they're big mad that they might not be able to kill babies on demand, are the same radicals who wanted a forced nationwide Covid vaccine mandate on all Americans to be able to get a job and provide for your family.'
Another of the president's sons, Eric Trump, did not mention the decision on his Instagram page but did post a photo of his wife, Lara, with their children, Carolina and Eric Jr.
The president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, who seldom posts on social media, has not made any reference to overturning Roe v Wade.
Ivanka similar to her father remained silent on Alito's opinion. In October 2020, she was widely quoted as saying that she was 'unapologetically pro-life.'

Considering the former president's track record of proudly discussing his accomplishments, Trump was largely silent following the leaking of Alito's opinion draft.
A search of Trump's Truth Social page reveals no mentions of Alito's opinion, abortion or Roe v Wade over the last two months. Trump broke his silence hours after the Supreme Court decision on Friday, releasing a statement on his social media platform Truth Social that took credit for the pro-life victory.
His last message on the platform dealt with the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a New York law about guns decreeing that decisions on the Second Amendment could not be made by the states.
'Elections have consequences. I promised to appoint Judges and Justices that would stand up for the Constitution. Today, koshi wind chimes adelaide the Supreme Court upheld the Second Amendment Right of all Americans,' he wrote.
