Reminder: Trump Wants To Rip Away Reproductive Freedoms Arrow

As Trump plans to rip away reproductive freedoms from millions of women, DNC spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement, with help from Trump's own words:

"Donald Trump was 'honored' to 'proudly''kill Roe v. Wade' and thinks it's a 'miracle' that cruel abortion bans across the country are 'working very brilliantly,' even as women are denied critical care. Trump - who said 'there has to be some form of punishment' for women who get an abortion - is now 'looking at all options' and 'pushing' a 'vital role for the federal government' in banning abortion nationwide. While President Biden is fighting to protect reproductive freedoms, Trump wants to rip away our basic rights - and voters will stop his extreme anti-choice agenda at the ballot box."

To be clear: Trump said he'd sign a national abortion ban if elected to a second term.

Associated Press: "Trump says he will support national ban on abortions around 15 weeks of pregnancy"

Rolling Stone: "Trump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report"

New York Times: "Trump Privately Expresses Support for a 16-Week Abortion Ban"

Rolling Stone: "Trump Floats National Abortion Ban After Claiming He's 'On the Side of Women'"

Trump: "There of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it's very important."

Trump on if he would sign a six-week national abortion ban: "I'm looking at all options."

Trump: "We'll pick something that's going to be very, very good for pro-life … I'm going to be in there pushing."

Trump is the reason millions of women live under cruel abortion bans - and he loves bragging about it.

Trump: "I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of … Roe v. Wade."

Trump: "We broke Roe v. Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible. We gave it back to the states, and the states are working very brilliantly … But they're working, and it's working the way it's supposed to."

Trump: "For 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it, and I'm proud to have done it. … Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle."

Trump: "After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the 'shock' of everyone … Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to. Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!"

Rolling Stone: "Trump Claims Credit for All Abortion Bans"

Business Insider: "Trump boasts he's 'proud' about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, the issue that has become ballot-box poison for Republicans"

Rolling Stone: "Trump Says He's 'Proud' to Have 'Terminated' Abortion Rights"

Trump campaign radio ad: "And Trump nominated conservative judges, leading to Roe v. Wade being overturned."

FWIW: "This week, we found more evidence that the Trump campaign has no interest in 'moderating' on the issue of abortion. On Monday, his team began running new Facebook video ads targeting voters in Iowa, referring to Trump as 'THE MOST Pro-Life President in history.'"

Trump: "I'm the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade, and everybody said that was an impossible thing to do. I put on three Supreme Court justices. Very few people have had that privilege or honor."

Trump: "Getting rid of Roe v. Wade was an incredible thing for pro-life because it gave pro-life something to negotiate with. Pro-life had absolutely nothing, being stuck in Roe v. Wade, to negotiate with. … And look, everybody that was president wanted to get rid and tried to get rid of Roe v. Wade … For fifty years, this has been going on. I was able to do it, and I was very honored to do it."

Trump backed a national abortion ban during his first term and said women should be punished for getting an abortion.

The Hill: "The Trump administration formally backed a House bill Monday that would ban abortions after 20 weeks. … It would make it a crime to perform or attempt an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with the possibility of a fine, up to five years in prison or both."

Trump: "There has to be some form of punishment [for women who have abortions]."
