To see what a second Trump administration would mean for reproductive rights, look to the mogul’s record and alliances.

To see what a second Trump administration would mean for reproductive rights, look to the mogul’s record and alliances.

Donald Trump has an abortion problem.

The presumptive GOP nominee boasts an advantage over President Joe Biden on most of today’s most salient issues. In a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll, voters said that they trusted Trump over the president on the economy, inflation, crime, and immigration. Biden, meanwhile, enjoyed a double-digit advantage on only one issue: by 47 points to 35 points, voters said they trusted the president over Trump to handle abortion policy.

It is not hard to see why.

Trump’s presidency left relatively few lasting marks on American public policy. But as he has repeatedly boasted since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, it was his judicial appointments that enabled the overturning of Roe v. Wade — and thus, the avalanche of abortion restrictions that followed its demise.

    Remember the delusional log cabin republicans that thought he wouldn’t push for a ton of homophobic shit because he pretended to be moderate on LGBTQ+ issues? Pepperidge Farm members.

      It seems there is a lot of delusion in this specific area. Caitlyn Jenner was just spouting off in the past week, in fact.

      Caitlyn doesn’t seem to understand that if the cons get their way, all her money simply will not matter. They might want to look into history a bit, specifically, The Night of Long Knives. Or see the target of some of their book burnings. It would be rather instructive.
