Trump Shows Hand On Contraception




In an interview with Pittsburgh's KDKA, the Malignant Loser -- always attempting to pander to his forced birth, Christofascist followers -- indicated that he's open to restrictions on contraception if he were to win a second term. From ABC News:

"Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was open to supporting regulations on contraception and that his campaign would release a policy on the issue 'very shortly,' comments that he later said were misinterpreted."

"Very shortly," like his infrastructure week or his plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Continue:

"The comments, made during an interview with a Pittsburgh television station, suggested that a future Trump administration might consider imposing mandates or supporting state restrictions on such highly personal decisions as whether women can have access to birth control. During an interview with KDKA News, Trump was asked, “Do you support any restrictions on a person’s right to contraception?”

'We’re looking at that and I’m going to have a policy on that very shortly,' Trump responded, according to a video of the interview that was briefly posted online before it was supposed to air, then taken down."

The moron must have been told by his cynical aides he'd touched the third rail of reproductive choice, and that he had to take the comments back for now. But believe that if he's given a free enough hand, he'll sign laws that ban abortion nationwide and restrict contraception. He already has a compliant and corrupt Supreme Court stacked in his favor; he just needs a Congress to hand him the legislation. Forewarned is forearmed.
