National-Donald Trump’s statements on abortion have been all over the place this week as he and his campaign scrambled to respond to the consequences of Trump overturning Roe v. Wade and ripping away women’s freedoms. Today, Trump will host and campaign alongside anti-abortion and anti-IVF extremist Mike Johnson. Johnson and Trump are making it clear to anyone watching: a MAGA-controlled White House and Congress would be the end of women’s right to choose. Just look at their records: |
-Nominated three SCOTUS justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, unleashing extreme abortion bans across the country -Bragged about it repeatedly, just this week touting that he is ‘proudly the person responsible’ for killing Roe -Said women should be punished for receiving abortion services –Cut and restricted funding for clinics providing contraception, fertility treatment, and abortion services at every opportunity -Already tried to pass a federal abortion ban – and has promised to do it again |
-Compared abortion services to the Holocaust -Championed several bills to enact extreme nationwide bans on abortion -After the Supreme Court overturned Roe, he tweeted “we will get the number of abortions to ZERO” -Called for restrictions on contraception and same-sex marriage -Cited a medical report from 1859 to support a total ban -Backed a Louisiana ban that included provisions to jail doctors for providing care |
The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson Sarafina Chitika on Trump and Johnson teaming up to ban abortion nationwide: “Women know they can’t trust Donald Trump on abortion — and this is why: after overturning Roe, saying women should be punished for having abortions, and championing a national abortion ban during his first term, Trump is spending today campaigning alongside one of the most extreme anti-abortion, anti-IVF leaders in Congress. Together, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson would ban abortion nationwide the minute they get the chance — but as President Biden has said, neither one of them has a clue about the power of women. They’ll find out this November.” |
