"EVERYONE KNOWS I WOULD NOT SUPPORT A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, AND WOULD, IN FACT, VETO IT."

A national abortion ban is "just not a reality."

Trump "has been very clear that he will NOT sign a federal ban when he is back in the White House."

"I don't think we'll get 60 votes in the Senate for any kind of national legislation [on a federal abortion ban]."

"[U]nless something really unusual happens in this election, neither side is going to have the votes in Congress to pass a national law [on abortion]."

Many elected Republicans "support policies that would devastate our communities, including potentially a nationwide abortion ban."

"[I]f Republicans get into power, they will not hesitate to push for a national abortion ban."

"There is very little doubt that Trump will sign a national abortion ban."

"[I]f Donald Trump were to be re-elected, he will sign a national abortion ban."

If Donald Trump wins the election, "there will be an abortion ban in our country; that's a guarantee."

Trump administration revokes guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions

United States of America

Rescinding this guidance will cause women to die in emergency rooms by creating dangerous confusion for doctors treating pregnancy emergencies. The Trump administration is abandoning pregnant patients in crisis, forcing providers to choose between saving lives and avoiding criminal prosecution in states with abortion bans.
