Trump indicates willingness to consider banning abortion pill


Former President Donald Trump suggested during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort that revoking access to mifepristone, a key drug used in medication abortions, could be a possibility. Trump stated that there are “humane” alternatives that could be explored, including giving people a vote on the issue of abortion. This stance appears to be a shift from his previous position of not blocking access to mifepristone in June.

The idea of revoking access to mifepristone is a core policy plan in Project 2025, a document organized by conservative groups as a governing plan for the next GOP presidential administration. Despite disavowing Project 2025, Trump has allies and former advisers affiliated with the initiative.

On the topic of expanding abortion access in Florida, Trump did not reveal how he planned to vote in the upcoming ballot initiative but hinted at a future announcement. His comments were criticized by the Harris-Walz campaign manager, who highlighted the negative impact of restricting access to medication abortion.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in 2022 on the constitutional right to abortion and a lawsuit in Texas challenging the FDA’s approval of mifepristone have heightened the political debate around abortion pills. Despite the Supreme Court ruling to uphold access to abortion pills in June, the issue remains contentious in the political sphere.
