This Is Going Well

Trump tells reporters in ATL that he would not sign a federal abortion ban if reelected in November.

“Would you sign a national abortion ban if Congress sent it to your desk?” Trump was asked by the reporter
“No,” Trump said, shaking his head.
“You wouldn’t sign it?”
“No." https://t.co/7zGTXs9OCu

Via @migold, a reminder that Trump backed a 20-week federal ban on abortion that cleared the House while he was president in 2017 https://t.co/FckvzfycvD

Trump was just asked: “Do you think a doctor should be punished who perform abortions?”

“I’d let that be to the states, you know, everything we’re doing now is states and states’ rights," Trump said.

Wasn't "states rights” how Arizona got the 1860’s era abortion law it now has?

Reporter: "Did Arizona go too far [with their near-total abortion ban]?"

Donald Trump: "Yeah, they did ... It's all about states' rights ... Arizona is going to definitely change. Everybody wants that to happen. And you're getting the will of the people." pic.twitter.com/WoPo6B600H

Christ they’re so bad. Friend of mine and I were doing joke NYT headlines a couple days ago and I don’t really know how to top this. pic.twitter.com/BkFeeEjRW5

I can’t believe I left this one out.

Whether it's Joe Biden supporting reproductive rights even though he is Catholic or Donald Trump opposing reproductive rights even though he paid for his mistress's abortion, both candidates are flawed messengers for reproductive rights.
