As Trump\u2019s agenda to rip away reproductive freedoms remains wildly unpopular among voters, <\/em>DNC spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump still doesn\u2019t seem to get it: Voters want nothing to do with his attacks on reproductive freedom \u2013 and have made it clear in every election since he overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em>. Women across the country are living through a nightmare of Trump\u2019s creation right now, denied critical care under abortion bans they overwhelmingly disapprove of. Trump may still be pushing the same wildly out-of-touch anti-choice platform he has for years, but he\u2019s in for a reality check this November when voters once again reject him and his attacks on our basic rights at the ballot box.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New polling this week once again confirms that the overwhelming majority of Americans support abortion access.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pew Research<\/a>: \u201cBroad Public Support for Legal Abortion Persists 2 Years After Dobbs\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbout six-in-ten (63%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This share has grown 4 percentage points since 2021 \u2013 the year prior to the 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization that overturned Roe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince before Roe was overturned, both parties have seen a modest uptick in the share who say abortion should be legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans say medication abortion should be legal rather than illegal by a margin of more than two-to-one (54% vs. 20%).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectrum News<\/a>: \u201cMajority of Americans support legal abortion, Pew Research survey says\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Today<\/a>: \u201cAmericans overwhelmingly oppose the next goal of many anti-abortion activists, to enact a federal law banning abortion nationwide. By 80%-14%, those surveyed opposed that idea, including 65% of Republicans and 83% of independents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cMost Americans support abortion access one year after Roe v. Wade: poll\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cMore than 7 in 10 Americans support access to medication abortion, and even more back the Food and Drug Administration’s ability to regulate drugs, a new Axios-Ipsos poll finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere’s widespread support for letting women obtain drugs for medication abortion from their doctor or a clinic, with 72% supporting \u2014 including half of Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminder: Trump said he\u2019d sign a national abortion ban if elected to a second term.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cTrump says he will support national ban on abortions around 15 weeks of pregnancy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cTrump Privately Expresses Support for a 16-Week Abortion Ban\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Floats National Abortion Ban After Claiming He\u2019s \u2018On the Side of Women\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it\u2019s very important.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump on if he would sign a six-week national abortion ban<\/a>: \u201cI’m looking at all options.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cWe’ll pick something that’s going to be very, very good for pro-life \u2026 I\u2019m going to be in there pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is standing by his allies as they push to ban medication abortion if Trump is reelected. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interviewer<\/a>: \u201cDo you think women should be able to get the abortion pill mifepristone?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump: \u201cWell, I have an opinion on that, but I’m not going to explain.<\/strong> I’m not gonna say it yet. But I have pretty strong views on that. And I’ll be releasing it probably over the next week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interviewer: \u201cWell, this is a big question, Mr. President, because your allies have called for enforcement of the Comstock Act, which prohibits the mailing of drugs used for abortions by mail. The Biden Department of Justice has not enforced it. Would your Department of Justice enforce it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is the reason millions of women live under cruel abortion bans \u2014 and he loves bragging about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI was proudly the person responsible for the ending of \u2026 <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cWe broke <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong> and we did something that nobody thought was possible. We gave it back to the states, and the states are working very brilliantly \u2026 But they\u2019re working, and it\u2019s working the way it\u2019s supposed to.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cFor 54 years they were trying to get <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong> terminated, and I did it, and I\u2019m proud to have done it. \u2026 Nobody else was going to get that done but me<\/strong>, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cAfter 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, much to the \u2018shock\u2019 of everyone \u2026 Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to.<\/strong> Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Claims Credit for All Abortion Bans\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: \u201cTrump boasts he’s ‘proud’ about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, the issue that has become ballot-box poison for Republicans\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
