Caitlyn Jenner says she supports Texas's new abortion ban that prevents women from getting an abortion in almost all cases after six weeks of pregnancy.
Over the last few months, the former Olympic decathlete, 71, has sparked much controversy after voicing her conservative standpoints on social and political matters amid her campaign for governor of California.
Some of her most divisive viewpoints revolve around her support of the death penalty and her belief that trans girls should be banned from playing alongside their cisgender teammates in school sports.
Watch Caitlyn Jenner discuss abortion with CNN's Brianna Keilar:
Now, Jenner has told CNN that despite her support for Texas lawmakers passing the widely condemned "Heartbeat" bill, she insisted she was actually pro-choice.
"I am for a woman's right to choose. I am also for a state having the ability to make their own laws," she told CNN’s Brianna Keilar.
"So I support Texas in that decision, that's their decision. But as far as being a woman's right to choose, I don't see any changes in our laws in California in the future."
Keilar asked the former Olympic champion how she could take both positions over a law that "essentially outlaws abortion."

"I think that they have the right in their state to do what they want to do," she added. "Now do I agree with the decision or not? No. To be honest with you, I actually probably do not agree with the decision. But I agree that they have the right to make their own decision."
The topic of abortion has been a never-ending one in recent days after the state of Texas introduced a new legislation, Senate Bill 8, that bans abortions after six weeks. The new law took effect last week after the Supreme Court's inaction.
The Supreme Court and a federal appeals court did not act upon objections from emergency requests brought forth by abortion providers.
This means that as of September 1, abortion after six weeks is illegal in the state - which is before many people even know they are pregnant, CNN reports.
Private lawsuits can therefore be brought against any pregnant person seeking to have an abortion after six weeks.
This amounts to a near-total ban on abortions and has no provision for victims of rape or incest.
Jenner announced her run for governor in April in the hope of replacing Democrat Gavin Newsom.
Despite her political ambitions, a recent poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies showed that a meager six percent of registered voters in California would back her.
In any case, state officials confirmed last week that a recall election would take place, per CNN.
