Former President Trump made a bold promise to “protect women at a level never seen before” if elected, vowing to ensure “powerful exceptions” for abortion across the nation. In a late-night social media post on Saturday, Trump expressed his commitment to improving the lives of women, highlighting concerns about their economic status, health, safety, and overall well-being.
Trump’s message comes as polls show him running strongly against Vice President Kamala Harris in most demographic groups, but struggling with women voters. The former president attributed this to the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, which had established abortion protections under federal law.
In his post, Trump emphasized that he would delegate abortion regulations to the states and the people, with exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother. He condemned late-term abortions and the execution of babies after birth, promising to prioritize women’s health, happiness, and security.
The Harris-Walz 2024 campaign responded to Trump’s post, accusing him of trying to control women’s thoughts and actions. They criticized his stance on abortion and warned that women’s lives and freedoms are at stake in the upcoming election.
Trump’s campaign fired back, accusing Harris and President Joe Biden of endangering women’s lives and affordability. They highlighted the impact of illegal immigration on women’s safety and reiterated Trump’s commitment to protecting women and families.
As the election approaches, the debate over abortion rights and women’s issues continues to be a focal point. Trump has clarified that he supports exceptions for abortion and will not block access to abortion medication if elected.
The contrasting views of Trump and Harris on women’s issues underscore the importance of the upcoming election for women across the country. With both candidates making strong appeals to female voters, the outcome of the election could have significant implications for women’s rights and healthcare.
