“There are other things the federal government could do, not just [an abortion ban]. Would you direct your FDA, for example, to revoke access to mifepristone? That’s one of the things that’s been discussed,” one reporter asked Trump, according to the 19th. Trump responded, “Sure, you can do things that will supplement. Absolutely. And those things are pretty open, and humane, but you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote, and the votes are taking place right now as we speak.”
Our dumbest president of all time.
Dumbest president so far.
This headline is extremely inaccurate. Trump has relatively moderate personal views on abortion (he just wants to win the election so he tries not to alienate voters).
That question response wasn’t Trump trying to talk about mifepristone… it was Trump trying his damnedest to avoid talking about mifepristone.
Trump has relatively moderate personal views on abortion (he just wants to win the election so he tries not to alienate voters).
Bullshit, his alleged personal views are meaningless in the face of actions, and his actions say he isn’t moderate in the slightest.
Edited for an example from the beginning of his presidency:
March 2016 – “The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment,” Trump told a MSNBC town hall after being asked: “Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle?” After his response, the host then sought a clarification on his use of the word punishment: “For the woman?” And Trump said, “Yeah, there has to be some form.” Following widespread criticism, Trump later walked back his comments in a statement.
He boasts that he ended Roe.
I truly hope there’s an overwhelming response, because if every woman recognized the threat he represents and voted accordingly it would be so very, very satisfying.
