Democrats Seize On Trump’s Contraception Comments

May 21, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

“Donald Trump today doubled down on his promise to leave ‘everything up to the states,’ suggesting he would allow states to have different policies on birth control and emergency contraception bans.

“When a local Pittsburgh station asked Trump if he would support restrictions around contraception, he said, ‘Things really do have a lot to do with the states and some states are gonna have different policies than others.’

“The stakes for the 2024 state legislative elections are already sky-high – Trump has already said he would let red states handle every aspect of reproductive freedom, including monitoring pregnancies, prosecuting women who get abortions, and allowing states to consider fetal personhood legislation that threatens reproductive care like IVF.

“Republicans in Oklahoma, Arizona, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Missouri have already taken action that threatens or prevents protections for birth control accessibility, and more GOP-led states could be empowered to pass sweeping bans on contraception with Trump’s stamp of approval.

“By contrast, twelve Democratic-led states have passed legal protections for birth control, demonstrating the impact of Democratic power in the states. Contraceptives are safe and effective and have been used by 90 percent of women in America.” – Via press release from the Democratic Legislative Committee.
