DNC National Press Secretary Emilia Rowland released the following statement: 

“It’s not just that Trump bragged about overturning Roe, called the life-threatening abortion bans he caused a ‘beautiful thing to watch,’ and chose a running mate who wants to ban abortion nationwide without exceptions for rape or incest. The bottom line is this: Trump cannot be trusted with the power to sign a national abortion ban into law – because his record shows he’ll betray women and undermine our freedoms if he gets the chance.”      

Trump and his MAGA cronies are already trying to spin their terrifying agenda to hide the Project 2025 blueprint that would guide his second term agenda. Here’s an overview of his real plans on abortion: 

• Uphold current abortion bans enacted by states – made possible by Trump appointing Supreme Court Justices who carried out his bidding to overturn Roe.
• Manipulate the powers of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase “abortion surveillance” and data collection.
• Rescind a Department of Defense policy to provide service members with access to abortion care.
• Punish states that require health insurance plans to cover abortion.
• End federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
• Outlaw the mailing any object that could be used for an abortion, including mifepristone.
• Threaten access to IVF.
• Rescind approval of abortion pills at the FDA.
• Eliminate the morning-after pill from the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate under the rationale that it is a ‘potential abortifacient

On multiple occasions, Trump said he wants to sign a national abortion ban — and let’s not forget he backed a national ban when he was in office. 

Rolling Stone: “Trump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report”

Trump: “There of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it’s very important.” 

Trump on if he would sign a six-week national abortion ban: “I’m looking at all options.”

CNN: “JD Vance said in 2022 he ‘would like abortion to be illegal nationally’”

“During a podcast interview in January 2022, then-candidate JD Vance said he ‘certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally’ and was ‘sympathetic’ to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion.”

New Republic: “On January 20, 2025, conservatives plan to resurrect a 150-year-old defunct law to ban abortion across the nation. This is not a secret plan—far from it. It’s part of the 180-Day Playbook produced by Project 2025, detailing priorities for an incoming conservative president on day one. These 900 pages lay out a Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist…

“The playbook says the president should enforce a 150-year-old law, the Comstock Act, which right-wing groups see as a way to ban abortion nationally because it outlaws the use of the mail for the purposes of sending or receiving any object that could be used for an abortion.”

New York Times: “Roberts told me that he views Heritage’s role today as ‘institutionalizing Trumpism.’ This includes leading Project 2025, a transition blueprint that outlines a plan to consolidate power in the executive branch, dismantle federal agencies and recruit and vet government employees to free the next Republican president from a system that Roberts views as stacked against conservative power. The lesson of Trump’s first year in office, Roberts told me, is that ‘the Trump administration … simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.’”

Trump’s track record includes overturning Roe v. Wade and paving the way for extreme abortion bans across the country – which he’s proudly bragged about.

Trump: “I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of … Roe v. Wade.”

Trump: “For 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it, and I’m proud to have done it. … Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.”

Trump: “After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade.”

Vance: “I think that what I really think on – so first of all, the Dobbs decision, everybody knows, overruled Roe v. Wade – I think that was the right decision.”

Trump campaign radio ad: “And Trump nominated conservative judges, leading to Roe v. Wade being overturned.”
