As the Trump-Vance ticket and their MAGA allies push a Project 2025 agenda that would gut access to contraception nationwide, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter anti-choice extremist JD Vance skipped out on protecting our basic reproductive rights, Donald Trump rewarded him with the VP pick. Now, the two of them and their extremist allies are plotting a dangerous Project 2025 agenda that would let them gut access to contraception and ban abortion nationwide, with or without Congress. Actions speak louder than words \u2014 no matter what Trump and Vance say, the American people know they can\u2019t trust them to protect access to contraception, reproductive health care, or our hard-earned freedoms.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: JD Vance SKIPPED a vote to protect access to contraception, which Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA minions in the Senate blocked.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio Capital Journal<\/a>: \u201cU.S. Senate GOP prevents contraception access bill from moving ahead\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOhio Republican U.S. Sen. JD Vance didn\u2019t vote.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump-Vance ticket and their extremist Project 2025 allies are plotting to gut access to contraceptives. Trump has even left the door open for restrictions on access to contraceptives like Plan B.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interviewer: \u201cDo you support any restrictions on a person\u2019s right to contraception?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cWe\u2019re looking at that, and I\u2019m going to have a policy on that very shortly and I think it\u2019s something that you\u2019ll find interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interviewer: \u201cThat suggests that you may want to support some restrictions? Like the morning after pill or something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cYou know, things really do have a lot to do with the states. And some states are going to have different policies than others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cAs president, Trump enacted several policies that made it more difficult for people, particularly the working class and the poor, to obtain contraception<\/strong> \u2014 from allowing more employers to opt out of birth control coverage in their workers\u2019 health insurance to imposing restrictions on the Title X family planning program that triggered a mass exodus of clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConservative allies want to reimpose those policies and go further if he wins in November. Their \u201cProject 2025\u201d blueprint includes proposals to require coverage of natural family planning methods and remove requirements that insurance cover certain emergency contraception.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaken together, the policies highlight the many ways a second Trump administration could hamper access to contraception, short of a blanket ban. The impact would also be much greater now that roughly one-third of states prohibit nearly all abortions\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs part of their 2025 wish list, conservatives want to overhaul which forms of birth control insurance companies must cover for patients at no cost under the Affordable Care Act. For instance, they have drafted plans to allow insurers to drop coverage of emergency contraception, such as Plan B pills, <\/strong>which some on the right believe are abortifacients because they make it harder for fertilized eggs to implant in the uterus\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFederal health officials in Trump\u2019s administration also issued rules allowing virtually any employer to refuse to cover contraception in their health plans, a policy supporters of the former president hope will be restored in 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe administration\u2019s biggest impact on contraception access came from its overhaul of the federal Title X program, which provides free and subsidized birth control, STD screenings and other services to millions of low-income people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump, Vance, and their Project 2025 allies are plotting an extreme anti-choice agenda to ban abortion nationwide, threaten IVF and contraception access, and allow states to monitor women\u2019s pregnancies. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cInside the MAGA Plan to Attack Birth Control, Surveil Women and Ban the Abortion Pill\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe attacks on mifepristone and resurrection of Comstock stand out as particularly harmful proposals, but they are only two of the dozens of ways the Republicans behind Project 2025 envision restricting access to abortion and contraception if they win the White House next year.<\/strong> Elsewhere in the document, there are proposals to eliminate the morning-after pill from the Affordable Care Act\u2019s contraceptive mandate under the rationale that it is a \u2018potential abortifacient.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heritage Foundation<\/a>: \u201cConservatives have to lead the way in \u2026 ending<\/strong> \u2026 senseless use of birth control pills.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cTrump: It\u2019s up to states to monitor pregnancies, prosecute abortions\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance said in 2022 he \u2018would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[JD Vance] said [he] \u2018certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019 and was \u2018sympathetic\u2019 to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion.\u201d<\/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

The 19th<\/a>: \u201cRNC approves platform that would give rights to fetuses, endangering abortion, IVF\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cThis is undeniably a Trump-driven operation.<\/strong> The biggest tell: Johnny McEntee \u2014 one of Trump’s closest White House aides, and his most fervent internal loyalty enforcer \u2014 is a senior adviser to Project 2025. One of the most powerful architects is Stephen Miller, a top West Wing adviser for the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
