Trump suggests he is open to states restricting access to birth control

[RandySF]

Former president Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that he is open to allowing states to restrict access to birth control and promised to release a “comprehensive policy” on the issue soon.

In an interview with KDKA News in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Trump was asked whether he supported any restrictions on a person’s right to contraception.

“We’re looking at that, and I’m going to have a policy on that very shortly, and I think it’s something that you’ll find interesting,” Trump said. “I think it’s a smart decision. But we’ll be releasing it very soon.”

Pressed if that meant he would support states if they wanted to ban certain forms of birth control, including the morning-after pill, Trump did not answer directly but said he would be releasing more details “within a week or so.”

7. Sounds like Donny is looking into the Chastity Belt busineess.

He first has to consult with the (all male) preachers about sales and prices.

8. In two weeks, by the 4th of July, when autumn begins...

Trump will change his pandering depending on his audience. Trump is allowed to contradict himself, sometimes within hours, and get very little pushback nor challenge.

Trump assumes his wealthy donors will always have access, so whatever gets him the most votes from the current audience is his (temporary) fallback position.

ANY woman who votes for this PIG of a man, you had best be warned that your daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters will be living in a world of hurt if he wins.
