"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."

Will Elective Abortion Be Banned Nationally in the US?

The Fifth Circuit's ruling, which Alito's stay put on hold, had reinstated a pre-pandemic requirement that mifepristone be obtained in person. The stay remains in effect until at least 5 p.m. ET on May 11.

Louisiana sued the FDA over its 2023 rule allowing mifepristone to be prescribed via telehealth and mailed to patients. The state argued the rule undermined its abortion ban and increased Medicaid costs for emergency care.

In 2024, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a prior challenge to mifepristone access, ruling that the anti-abortion doctors and groups who brought the case lacked legal standing because they could not show direct harm from FDA regulations.
