Ahead of the Supreme Court hearing on a case that could restrict access to medication abortion and rip away women\u2019s reproductive freedoms, <\/em>DNC spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could rip away access to safe, effective medication abortion from women all across the country \u2014 as Trump’s MAGA allies are already pushing an unpopular and extreme anti-choice playbook that could go even further. Trump has made it clear that if given the chance, he\u2019ll do everything he can to ban abortion nationwide and strip millions of Americans of their basic rights. Reproductive freedom is on the ballot in this election, and voters are ready to send a clear signal rejecting Trump\u2019s extreme anti-choice agenda this November.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump brags about appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, which paved the way for MAGA Republicans to threaten access to medication abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNBC<\/a>: \u201cFormer President Donald Trump called Friday\u2019s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade \u2018the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation\u2019 \u2014 and gave himself credit for the outcome in the controversial decision to undo federal abortion rights.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump, in a statement, said Friday\u2019s ruling and other recent court decisions \u2018were only made possible because I delivered everything as promised, including nominating and getting three highly respected and strong Constitutionalists confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Says He\u2019s \u2018Proud\u2019 to Have \u2018Terminated\u2019 Abortion Rights\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade, and everybody said that was an impossible thing to do. I put on three Supreme Court justices. Very few people have had that privilege or honor.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cIn an unprecedented move, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Friday suspended the Food and Drug Administration’s longtime approval of key abortion pill mifepristone.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNBC<\/a>: \u201cKacsmaryk, appointed to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump in 2019<\/strong>, previously worked for the Christian conservative legal group First Liberty Institute and has espoused socially conservative views on LGBTQ rights and abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR<\/a>: \u201cA federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that mifepristone, one of two pills used in medication abortions, should not be prescribed past seven weeks of pregnancy or via telemedicine. \u2026 A three judge panel of the 5th Circuit heard arguments in the case in May. All three judges were appointed by Republicans. Two are Trump appointees, one was appointed by George W. Bush.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: \u201cTrump boasts he\u2019s \u2018proud\u2019 about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, the issue that has become ballot-box poison for Republicans\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As president, Trump appealed a pandemic-era court order that allowed women to take mifepristone without visiting a doctor in person and tried to bar federally funded clinics from referring patients to abortion providers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNBC<\/a>: \u201cTrump administration asks Supreme Court to reinstate abortion pill restrictions judge has suspended due to coronavirus\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

19th News<\/a>: \u201cThe [Trump] administration is currently arguing that<\/strong> the Supreme Court<\/strong><\/a> undo a lower court order that allowed people in the pandemic to take mifepristone \u2014 a drug used as part of medication abortions \u2014 from home, without visiting a doctor in person. <\/strong>Appealing such a ruling straight to the Supreme Court and bypassing the appeals process was uncommon prior to Trump\u2019s presidency, but has become a frequent strategy for the administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR<\/a>: \u201cSupreme Court OKs White House Request To Limit Abortion Pill Access During Pandemic\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaiser Family Foundation<\/a>: \u201cOn March 4, 2019, the Trump Administration published new final regulations that restores Reagan-era restrictions regarding abortion and Title X. The primary goal of these regulations is to block the availability of federal funds to family planning providers, such as Planned Parenthood, that also offer abortion services with non-Title X funds and to prohibit sites that receive Title X funds from referring pregnant patients to other providers for abortion services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If given the chance, Trump and his MAGA allies would ban abortion nationwide \u2014 including medication abortion \u2014 and shut down clinics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it\u2019s very important.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump on if he would sign a six-week national abortion ban<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m looking at all [options].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project 2025<\/a>: \u201cFDA should\u2026 Reverse its approval of chemical abortion drugs because the politicized approval process was illegal from the start\u2026 Now that the Supreme Court has acknowledged that the Constitution contains no right to an abortion, the FDA is ethically and legally obliged to revisit and withdraw its initial approval, which was premised on pregnancy being an \u2018illness\u2019 and abortion being \u2018therapeutically\u2019 effective at treating this \u2018illness.\u2019 The FDA is statutorily charged with guaranteeing the safety and efficacy of drugs and therefore should withdraw this drug that is proven to be dangerous to women and by definition fatally unsafe for unborn children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cThe Heritage Foundation, which has proposed detailed policies for a potential GOP administration, argues that Comstock \u2018unambiguously prohibits mailing abortion drugs\u2019 and says the next administration should \u2018enforce federal law against providers and distributors of [abortion] pills.\u2019”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlantic<\/a>: \u201cTheir next goal will be ending legal abortion in America once and for all\u2026 <\/strong>Their ultimate aim in reviving the Comstock Act is to use it to shut down every abortion facility \u201cin all 50 states\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has also made clear that if reelected, he\u2019d stack the Supreme Court with ultra-MAGA judicial extremists who will do his bidding, further putting our fundamental freedoms at risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Times<\/a>: \u201cFormer President Donald Trump is working on a new list of 20 potential picks for the Supreme Court should he be reelected in November, The Washington Times has learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe move revives a strategy he used to help win over conservatives in the 2016 election, which led to his reshaping the high court and the federal judiciary more broadly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I\u2019m going to be putting together a list of judges \u2014 great judges \u2014 a list of about 20. I think it\u2019s important to reveal who your Supreme Court justices will be,\u2019 Mr. Trump told The Times on Tuesday. \u2018There are people who say the list helped me win the election last time.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cAnd when I\u2019m back in the White House, I will once again appoint rock-solid conservative judges <\/strong>in the mold of justices like Antonin Scalia and the great Clarence Thomas. \u2026 And before Election Day 2024, I will again release the full list of names from which I will select my appointments to the United States Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cTrump has made clear he expects unfleeting loyalty from the judges he appointed, <\/strong>referring to them as \u2018my judges\u2019 and grousing publicly when they ruled against his administration. \u2018If it\u2019s my judges, you know how they\u2019re gonna decide,\u2019 <\/strong>Trump assured evangelical leaders during the 2016 campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
