"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."

Planned Parenthood argued it would risk closing nearly 200 clinics in 24 states if cut off from Medicaid funds, potentially affecting more than 1 million patients who rely on services like contraception and STD testing.

Judge Talwani found the law likely violates the Constitution, agreeing with Planned Parenthood's argument that it was targeted specifically and could constitute an unconstitutional "bill of attainder" that punishes without due process.

The decision undermines democratic legislation and forces taxpayers to fund organizations that prioritize political advocacy over patient care. States should have flexibility to direct healthcare funding to comprehensive community health centers that outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities 15 to 1 without the controversial abortion services.

This ruling protects essential healthcare access for millions of low-income Americans who depend on Medicaid. Cutting funding would force clinic closures and leave over a million patients without access to contraception, cancer screenings, and STD testing. The law clearly targets Planned Parenthood despite providing legal non-abortion services.
