Bullet points of How to Understand Trump’s Latest Comments About Banning the Abortion Pill
- Donald Trump has been ambiguous about his stance on abortion policy, refusing to answer questions and outsourcing it to those opposed to it, as he did in his first term.
- Trump's position on abortion has been to obfuscate, refusing to answer questions about key issues and running on a platform that favors fetal personhood and endorses in vitro fertilization.
- Trump has claimed to know 'nothing' about Project 2025, despite flying on a private jet with its director and the architects being Trump administration veterans.
- Trump has shown willingness to limit access to mifepristone, a drug used in more than half of all abortions, and has signaled interest in 'humane' federal moves that 'would supplement' state bans.
- Trump outsourced much of abortion policy to prominent anti-abortion activists in his first term, including Roger Severino and Leonard Leo.
- Trump's communications team had clear ties to the anti-abortion movement, with Charmaine Yoest, the head of Americans United for Life, serving in a senior communications position in HHS.
- Trump has a history of making sexist and crass comments, and has not conveyed a principled position on reproductive issues, leading to concerns about what he would do with abortion policy in a second term.
- If Trump is re-elected, he is likely to outsource abortion policy to those opposed to it, leading to unprecedented losses for reproductive rights.
