The Spin

It's no surprise that Democrats continue lying about Trump's position on abortion considering their candidates' shaky record on this issue. Trump's position has always been that abortion restrictions should be decided by the states, and now he's repeated that again for all to see. Women currently have access to necessary medical treatments in all 50 states and that's not going to change if Trump returns to the White House.

Trump shouldn't be allowed to get away with flip-flopping on abortion. He proudly appointed three Supreme Court justices to help overturn Roe v. Wade. His campaign has been tied to the radically anti-abortion agenda, Project 2025. And his party is publicly vocal about its opposition to reproductive rights, including Vance's stated wish that abortion be made illegal nationwide.

There's a 12% chance of a US national abortion ban before Jan. 1 2030 if Trump is elected president compared to a 1% chance if he loses, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
