#Trump “looking at” banning or restricting #contraception NATIONALLY

Republicans in Congress REFUSED to pass laws protecting access to contraception

Your freedoms to use the Pill, Plan B, IUDs, and condoms are ALL on the ballot on November 5

@GottaLaff @tristansnell do you have the video? Is it current or from the Spring? He backtracked after the Spring statement.

I believe it’s true but trying to confirm

@markrsmith @GottaLaff @tristansnell This appears to be Pittsburgh reporter John Shumway interviewing Trump earlier this year. And the clip does not have Trump making a statement regarding an outright ban on contraception. Interestingly, Google and YouTube searches will NOT produce any reference to that interview, nor will a search of the CBS Pittsburgh website. So now I’m on the hunt.

@MarkAB It was posted by the Harris campaign. @markrsmith @tristansnell

@GottaLaff @markrsmith @tristansnell My point was just that it seems strange that the full interview seems to have been scrubbed. I watched it when it was originally aired, and was amazed that a local reporter got the this kind of airtime, and that Trump said so much damaging stuff. Of course his more recent comments have made the Shumway interview seem tame.

@MarkAB Oh, got it. Yeah, that is strange. @markrsmith @tristansnell

@GottaLaff @MarkAB @tristansnell I’m not that comfortable with the Harris campaign quoting a position that Trump has later disavowed.

But I’m still more comfortable with Harris. A lot.
