In response to Trump calling cruel abortion bans in states across the country \u201cbeautiful,\u201d <\/em>DNC National Press Secretary Emilia Rowland released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump thinks it\u2019s \u2018beautiful\u2019 that a 13-year-old rape victim was forced to carry the pregnancy due to Mississippi<\/a>\u2019s abortion ban; that a young woman in Texas almost died because doctors were afraid to treat her; and that a Florida woman was turned away from the emergency room and lost roughly half her blood in a single day after experiencing a miscarriage. Anyone who thinks women dying or suffering extreme physical, mental, and emotional harm because they can\u2019t access reproductive health care is a \u2018beautiful thing to watch\u2019 is fundamentally unfit to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>Texas woman Amanda Zurawski nearly died<\/a> when her doctors were unable to  provide her the abortion care she needed until she developed a severe and life-threatening case of sepsis, due to the state\u2019s extreme abortion bans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>Women are forced to flee their home states<\/a> to receive life-saving reproductive care because the GOP legislators in their home states would rather a woman die than have access to abortion care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that:<\/strong> A woman in Florida had to carry her baby to term<\/a> knowing that he would die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>Florida doctors had to turn away a pregnant woman who was miscarrying, forcing her to deliver her nonviable <\/a>fetus in a hair salon bathroom and face near death after losing half the blood in her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>A Texas OBGYN reported having to stand idly by as pregnant patients lives are threatened<\/a> on his watch due to the extreme abortion bans Republican state legislators have imposed onto Texas women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>A teenage rape victim from Mississippi had no other choice but to travel 500 miles<\/a> to get an abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that<\/strong>: Alabama<\/a> doctors were too scared to approve an abortion for a mother whose baby wouldn\u2019t survive to term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>A <\/strong>25-year-old college senior<\/a> was in \u201cextreme danger\u201d of dying because under Texas law, doctors were afraid to treat her until her fallopian tube was rupturing, a \u201chighly dangerous\u201d condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>Women must travel upwards of eight hours <\/a>round trip for the reproductive care that they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>In Arizona<\/a>, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 was enforceable before Democrats worked tirelessly to overturned the law. However, there is still an extreme abortion ban still on the books with no exceptions for rape or incest \u2013 and the back and forth caused by both of the bans created mass chaos for abortion clinics, doctors, and women in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that:<\/strong> A North Dakota<\/a> court kept a strict abortion ban in place even in cases of medical emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>Texas arrested and charged a woman<\/a> for allegedly self-managing an abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that: <\/strong>more than 1 in 3 women<\/a> live in a state where Trump\u2019s far-right minions have stripped women of their fundamental right to an abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump thinks it\u2019s beautiful that<\/strong>: 21 states have abortion bans, half of which have no exceptions for rape or incest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
