Trump left the door open to restricting access to birth control

Seriously. He was asked in an interview if he supported the idea of limiting access to contraception and Trump responded with: "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. You will find it very smart. I think it’s a smart decision.”" His campaign manager must have stroked out after hearing that because the GOP attack on women's bodily rights is a HUGE issue in this election cycle even with Republican women. Trump then quickly attempted to walk that back on Truth Social. He posted: "This is a Democrat fabricated lie, MISINFORMATION/DISINFORMATION, because they have nothing else to run on except FAILURE, POVERTY, AND DEATH. I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!" Um how can it be a lie when he was on video saying it? And yes Republicans are on record saying that they are open to removing access to birth control--including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. I seriously don't understand why these people are obsessed with what happens in a woman's uterus. They don't want to allow abortions. Fine. Whatever. That is BS but I get their thinking on that. But then to not allow a woman to try to PREVENT pregnancy? Why do they care about that? Because you know that they want to refuse to pay for WIC, Medicaid, SNAP, education, school lunches, housing assistance, utility assistance, etc. for those children whose mothers cannot afford to support them. They are pro-birth but not pro-life.
