The Harris-Walz campaign launched a bus tour and hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising to make sure voters knew where Trump-Vance stood on IVF and abortion, despite Republican gaslighting.
Is Donald Trump lying to the public about his position on abortion? It sure looks like it.
Trump think women are stupid and we can be gaslighted. He seems to believe that he can do one thing when he talks to the extremist base and then turns around and smiles at the majority of Americans who want to see access to abortion and IVF protected and lies and will believe, “Senator. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said in a press call in which PoliticusUSA participated on Friday.
The Republican ticket plans to make IVF illegal, which in the phone campaign Harris-Walz warned, emphasizing that the threat posed by the Life of Conception Act and the inclusion of Trump’s 14th Amendment in the party platform can prohibit abortion and endanger IVF.
“The point is to get protection, legal protection for IVF, that’s the bill that we voted for in June, and that’s the bill that JD Vance voted for shortly before Donald Trump chose him as his running mate,” Warren told reporters at the event. Q and A part of the phone. “Donald Trump could have chosen anyone to be his running mate, but he chose to choose a Republican who recently voted against legal protections for IVF.”
Harris’ campaign is using personal stories like Latorya Beasley, a woman who lost access to IVF treatment because of a possible abortion ban in Alabama thanks to former president Donald Trump’s appointment to the Supreme Court. She hopes to appeal to Republican voters who empathize with reproductive rights.
Trump’s presidency finally loosened its extreme abortion ban through the Supreme Court’s choice, which threatened IVF access nationwide through the reversal of Roe v. Wade, which led to the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children.
He pointed out, “Trump and Vance’s MAGA platform promised to effectively ban IVF and abortion — and Trump continues to refuse to veto extreme legislation that would threaten access to IVF for families across the country.”
While this may seem hyperbolic, Beasley’s story explains how the IVF process was pulled out of the process mid-way through the implementation of extremist anti-abortion laws in Alabama. The campaign warned that Alabama isn’t just because of Donald Trump, laws are now being implemented in states across the country that contain language that could endanger fertility treatments and even contraception.
To hit home, Reproductive Freedom for All President & CEO Mini Timmaraju pointed out that the Republican party platform “maintains radical and dangerous personal language. It implies that fertilized eggs should have full citizenship rights under the 14th Amendment. If implemented, this policy will prohibit abortion and threatens access to IVF and contraception.
“Donald Trump knew what he was doing when he included the 14th Amendment in his party platform,” Timmaraju added. “He glanced at the anti-abortion extremists, saying ‘Don’t worry about what else I have to say to get elected. This is what I really want to do.’ And you don’t have to take it from us, Students for Life cites the inclusion of 14th Amendment language as the ‘most important contribution’ that Trump’s platform has made to its cause. SBA Pro-life America also cites the 14th Amendment’s platform.
It’s important, especially when Donald Trump is trying to get rid of his unpopular anti-women health care platform, that Trump and his administration are choosing and working with people who believe the IVF process is murder, and that Trump is hosting an Alabama Supreme Court justice who wrote IVF rule twice, including once when he was president in 2018.
JD Vance just voted against bills to protect IVF access and already had a clear record of this when Donald Trump chose him as his running mate. If the goal is not clear, Vance also told CNN that Republicans should pass federal laws against abortion, “Republicans should change their approach on abortion and start passing federal laws – ‘We can’t give in. to an idea that the Federal Congress doesn’t have role in this matter,’ said us.â€
Trump himself has boasted about overturning Roe: “After 50 years of failure, no one came close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, which ‘shocked’ everyone’… Without me there wouldn’t have been 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 week, or whatever they finally agree to. Without me, the pro-Life movement would have lost. Thank you President TRUMP!!!â€
When asked if Democrats should try again to pass more legislation to protect government-mandated IVF or insurance, Warren explained that Republicans have said no to the threshold question of whether IVF is legal, “The threshold question is whether IVF is legal and Vance said, ‘No.’ “
After covering this topic for 13 years as Republicans tried to ban abortion in states across the country, it’s true that when you hear the word “personhood” applied to a fertilized egg, it means that the woman or girl who carried the egg no longer exists. full of people.
“Personhood” does this by default, just as when it comes to “life” and “liberty”, these rights cannot be applied to organisms held by humans without taking rights away from humans. This is another reason why abortion is considered a human right. The human right to have autonomy over oneself and whatever is inside one’s body.
So while the media can buy the talking points of both cynical Donald Trumps, it’s always best to look at what people do rather than what they say, especially when they’re lying. While Donald Trump may not be enacting a federal abortion ban, he has signaled that he does not regard women as human beings subject to human rights and ignores IVF access.
Human rights are too important to leave behind to just hope that Donald Trump tells the truth once in his political career. The Harris-Walz campaign tried to get the word out with blitz ads and tour buses. There is too much at stake for women to be gaslighted by two men who wear abominable clothes for women and girls right out in the open.
When politicians signal that they don’t respect half of the population, they have to be trusted.
