Wade<\/em>, and called draconian abortion bans across the country \u2018life saving\u2019 while women are being turned away from emergency rooms. Stefanik is a champion for anti-choice extremism and in lockstep with Trump\u2019s dangerous MAGA agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sel- described \u201cultra-MAGA\u201d VP contender Elise Stefanik co-sponsored a national abortion ban and \u2014 just like Trump \u2014 has endorsed draconian abortion bans around the country that Trump made possible when he overturned <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cFor 54 years they were trying to get <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong> terminated, and I did it, and I\u2019m proud to have done it. \u2026 Nobody else was going to get that done but me<\/strong>, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cAfter 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill <\/strong>Roe v.
