Today marks the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, and women across America know that Donald Trump is the reason this day, which represented freedom for nearly half a century, is now a reminder of their rights being ripped away. Trump hand-picked Supreme Court justices to overturn the landmark decision that recognized women\u2019s essential and fundamental right to reproductive freedom \u2014 and brags about it. And as he arrived back in office, an anti-choice extremist Trump-appointed federal judge renewed attacks<\/a> on mifepristone, the opening salvo in a new war against reproductive freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Trump back in the White House after overturning Roe v. Wade and ready to implement an extreme, anti-choice agenda, <\/em>DNC Senior Spokesperson Hannah Muldavin released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause of Donald Trump, women are dying due to the horrific abortion bans made possible by his hand-picked Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em>. Trump has stripped away the fundamental right for women to make decisions about their own health care. We\u2019re already living in a world where daughters have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers \u2014 and Trump has hired MAGA extremists to implement an agenda that further chips away at those rights. During this time when extremists feel emboldened to implement dangerous anti-choice policies, Democrats will not stop fighting to restore Roe<\/em>\u2019s protections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has repeatedly bragged about ending <\/strong>Roe v. Wade <\/em><\/strong>and has called the patchwork of restrictive and cruel abortion bans across the country \u201ca beautiful thing to watch\u201d \u2014 even though women have been hospitalized and even died as a result. <\/strong>
<\/strong><\/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. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, much to the \u2018shock\u2019 of everyone \u2026 Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to.<\/strong> Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cFormer President Trump on Wednesday said it was \u2018a beautiful thing to watch\u2019 <\/strong>as individual states passed patchwork abortion laws, some more restrictive than others, and suggested it could unify the country even as Democrats use the issue to drive turnout in elections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReproductive rights have been front and center politically in the two years since the conservative Supreme Court majority ended Roe v. Wade, with some states enshrining abortion rights and others enacting restrictive laws that effectively ban the procedure.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018And it\u2019s taken it off the shoulders of the federal government \u2026 The people are deciding. And in many ways, it\u2019s a beautiful thing to watch.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC News<\/a>: \u201cDelayed and denied: Women pushed to death’s door<\/strong> for abortion care in post-Roe America\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProPublica<\/a>: \u201cAbortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother\u2019s Death Was Preventable.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas Tribune<\/a>: \u201cA third woman has died under Texas\u2019 abortion ban<\/strong> as doctors reach for riskier miscarriage treatments\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian<\/a>: \u201cPregnant Texas teen died after three ER visits due to impact of abortion ban\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s not forget that Trump backed a national abortion ban in his first term \u2014 and has floated signing one in his second term. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cWith Trump\u2019s backing, House approves ban on abortion<\/strong> after 20 weeks of pregnancy\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cPresident Trump on Friday called on the Senate to pass a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cTrump says he will support national ban on abortions around 15 weeks of pregnancy\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

With <\/strong>Roe <\/em><\/strong>overturned and Trump back in power, his MAGA extremist allies are plotting to implement his Project 2025 anti-choice agenda: banning medication abortion, threatening access to IVF, and even monitoring women\u2019s pregnancies and gaining access to private health data. <\/strong><\/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\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlantic<\/a>: \u201cTheir next goal will be ending legal abortion in America once and for all. \u2026 Their ultimate aim in reviving the Comstock Act is to use it to shut down every abortion facility \u2018in all 50 states.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cDonald Trump Has Deep Ties To Anti-IVF Movement\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike many Republicans, Trump\u2019s words of support don\u2019t align with his past actions on IVF. The current Republican presidential nominee \u2015 who has repeatedly bragged about his role in repealing federal abortion protections \u2015 has deep ties to extreme right-wing organizations that actively oppose IVF.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cAnti-abortion advocates worked for five decades to topple Roe v. Wade. They\u2019re now laying the groundwork for a yearslong fight to curb in vitro fertilization.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump and Vance Have Backed States That Want to Surveil Pregnant Women\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump and his vice presidential pick are now both saying abortion should be left up to the states, even though they both previously signaled support for national bans. They have also, alarmingly, both suggested they would be OK with states moving to surveil women\u2019s pregnancies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn May, a host at WGAL, an NBC affiliate in Pennsylvania, noted to Trump that there were ads running that suggested he would support certain states with bans monitoring women\u2019s pregnancies. \u2018Well, that would be up to the states, again,\u2019 Trump responded.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
