Media outlets across the country have suggested recently that Trump’s position on abortion is moderate. The truth is that his positions on our reproductive freedom are clear and extreme.
Trump's Explicit Statements: Trump advocated for punishment for women having abortions, showing a clear stance. He called for a national abortion ban and took credit for extreme 6-week bans across the country. Now the New York Times is reporting he's decided to back a nationwide ban in his second term.
Judicial Appointments: Trump appointed one-third of Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, as he promised. These appointments reflect right-wing ideologues out of touch with public opinion.
Trump's Boasts about overturning Roe: Trump boasts about appointing justices and overturning Roe v. Wade at every opportunity. His quote, "I’m the one who got rid of Roe v. Wade," emphasizes his active role in this decision.
Previous Advocacy for a National Abortion Ban: Trump, during his tenure, supported a national abortion ban that could have criminalized doctors, putting them in jail.
Campaign Spokesperson's Confirmation: Trump's campaign spokesperson affirms his commitment to pro-life actions, including nominating judges to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Deadly Consequences: Trump's commitment to overturning Roe and criminalizing abortion has life-threatening consequences. Media outlets should prioritize informing the public about the real risks associated with Trump's extreme stance.
Call for Accountability: We all have a responsibility to inform voters of Trump's true, extreme record on this critical issue.
Repetition of Trump's Stance: Despite any perceived vulnerability, Trump has consistently communicated his stance on reproductive freedom. It is crucial for voters to take his words seriously and understand the potential impact on their rights.
