'If elected, he will outsource his abortion policy to anti-abortion groups,' one critic suggested.
Former President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate on August 8, 2024, in Palm Beach, Florida.During a chaotic and lie-ridden press conference on Thursday, former President Donald Trump suggested that he would be open to restricting access to abortion medication should he win the White House this fall.
Critics blasted the Republican presidential nominee’s comments, with some suggesting that Trump didn’t appear to know what mifepristone — the medication in question — even is.. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the availability of the drug, which has become the most utilized abortion method in the country.
Haake asked whether Trump would direct the Food and Drug Administration to “revoke access to mifepristone,” an outcome many far right anti-abortion activists are hoping for if he becomes president.He added that there are supposedly things that could be done “on a humane basis” with regard to mifepristone, refraining from going into detail on what he meant.
“Preceding the question, Trump says Harris isn’t smart. Then he takes the mifepristone question: He clearly has no idea what he’s talking about… and seems to suggest, yes, his FDA will revoke it,” “This was by far the best question of the day, exposing that Trump has no idea what mifepristone is,”. “He’s ‘pro-life’ when it’s convenient, ‘moderate’ on abortion when it’s not. He does not know what mifepristone is.”Abortion and reproductive rights are a key issue in this year’s presidential race, with Democratic candidate for President Kamala Harrisshowing that 56 percent of Americans think she would handle the issue better, with only 41 percent saying the same of Trump.
