Trump vows to ‘never advocate’ for birth-control restrictions after uproar
The New York Post ^ | 05/21/2024 | Ryan King

Donald Trump on Tuesday insisted he would never push for restrictions on contraception after getting panned over an interview in which he appeared to suggest the possibility.

“I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER ADVOCATE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL, or other contraceptives. This is a Democrat fabricated lie,” the former president declared on Truth Social. “I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!”

Earlier in the day, the Biden-Harris campaign highlighted a clip of Trump, 77, from an interview with a Pittsburgh TV station suggesting he was “looking at” possible restrictions on morning-after pills.

“You will find it very smart. I think it’s a smart decision,” Trump further teased. “We’ll be releasing it [our policy] very soon.”

***

Those pills have been controversial among some religious conservatives and anti-abortion activists.

Last month, Trump distanced himself from traditional Republican policy on abortion by deferring to the states. Around the same time, he also ripped into Arizona’s 160-year-old abortion law, contending that it “went too far” by banning all abortions except those “necessary to save” a pregnant person’s life.

During his interview with KDKA, Trump — who is again running for the White House — suggested that the states will take point on contraception, too.

“Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are gonna have different policies than others,” he told the Pittsburgh TV station.

*** Last month, Trump told TIME Magazine that he planned to unveil a policy regarding the mail-order mifepristone drug soon. Mifepristone is part of a two-drug regime to induce an abortion.

The US Supreme Court is set to rule on a case about whether access to the controversial drug should be rolled back.***

Is today “I can’t read day” and nobody told me? Go write nonsense to someone else. Nobody reads what you write with your highlights and bold font. Dildo.

I did catch the “Hyde amendment” bullshit. You mean the “amendment” that Johnson keeps ignoring? Hyde was a child molester too.

Ya men wish we would go back to the normal expectation of sex only within marriage

Yep.

Once again:

Gentlemen: Only ever stick it in your wife.

Ladies: Only ever spread 'em for your husband.

Any other course of action is begging for trouble.

That rage building up in your gut is your guilty conscience ...

mplants, tied tubes and vasectomies need to be imposed on the criminal, druggie, nut job, and parasite classes.

Would you give government the power to decide who is in the criminal, druggie, nut job, and parasite classes?

To be clear, morning-after pills are not contraceptives as used. The article seems to leave this issue vague.

The bold is what you said, and it is bolded to distinguish my comments from the comments you made. So, obvious I read your response. If you chose not to read mt comments that doesn't bother me.

But people do read my posts. Some agree with them, some disagree.

Dildo 🤣 Very creative. 🤣

I wouldn’t give ANY government that power ... sooner rather than later, it would be abused in the manner you describe.

Is there rage building up in your gut?

If “yes”, it refers to you. Listen to your guilty conscience. It’s trying to tell you something true.

If “no”, it does not refer to you. Carry on with your life.

I refer you back to the boolean logic in #31.

Read it carefully, and act accordingly.

I wonder if his “policy” on this, which was supposed to be released a month ago, will be announced before or after his “better than Obamacare health care plan”?

The morning-after pills are to contraception as the COVID shots are to vaccines.
