Trump-Vance Project 2025 Agenda: Ban Abortion Nationwide – With or Without Congress Arrow

Reminder: No matter what Trump says, Project 2025 is an "undeniably Trump-driven operation."

FACT: Donald Trump made cruel abortion bans across the country (which he says are "working very brilliantly") possible by "proudly" overturning Roe v. Wade.

Trump: "I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of Roe v. Wade"

Trump: "For 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it, and I'm proud to have done it. … Nobody else was going to get that done but me, and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle."

Trump: "We broke Roe v. Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible. We gave it back to the states, and the states are working very brilliantly … But they're working, and it's working the way it's supposed to."

Rolling Stone: "Trump Says He's 'Proud' to Have 'Terminated' Abortion Rights"

New York Times: 22 states across the country currently have abortion bans.

Fox News: "Trump says he's 'proud to be the most pro-life president' in US history on anniversary of Roe v. Wade overturn"

FACT: JD Vance's anti-choice record includes wanting abortion to be "illegal nationally," attacking exceptions for rape and incest, and comparing abortion to slavery.

CNN: "JD Vance said in 2022 he 'would like abortion to be illegal nationally'"

"During a podcast interview in January 2022, then-candidate JD Vance said he 'certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally' and was 'sympathetic' to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion."

JD Vance: "I am 100 percent pro-life, and believe that abortion has turned our society into a place where we see children as an inconvenience to be thrown away rather than a blessing to be nurtured. Eliminating abortion is first and foremost about protecting the unborn, but it's also about making our society more pro-child and pro-family.The historic Dobbs decision puts this new era of society into motion, one that prioritizes family and the sanctity of all life."

Newsweek: "J.D. Vance Backs 'National Standard' for Abortions"

Daily Beast: "J.D. Vance suggested he would support prohibiting abortion even in cases of rape and incest-and dismissed those catalysts as 'inconvenient.'"

Vice: "JD Vance Compared Abortion to Slavery"

The Hill: "During his campaign for Senate, Vance applauded the overturning of Roe v. Wade and supported Texas's ban on abortion, which does not allow exceptions other than cases where the mother's life is at risk.

"'Two wrongs don't make a right,' he said in 2021 when asked whether abortion laws should allow for exceptions for rape and incest."

JD Vance: "I think that what I really think on - so first of all, the Dobbs decision, everybody knows, overruled Roe v. Wade - I think that was the right decision."

NBC News: "Senate Republicans block Democratic bill codifying Roe v. Wade abortion protections"

"Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked legislation led by Democrats to revive the protections of Roe v. Wade in the wake of the Supreme Court eliminating the nationwide right to abortion."

Republicans who voted against include: JD Vance.

Letter Signed by Vance and Other Members of Congress: "Abortion is not health care-it is a brutal act that destroys the life of an unborn child and hurts women. Congress did not authorize HHS to extend special provisions for abortion such as these under the guise of 'health care.' The Proposed Rule unlawfully thwarts the enforcement of compassionate laws protecting unborn children and their mothers, and directs health care providers to defy lawful court orders and search warrants."

FACT: If given the chance, Trump and Vance would ban abortion nationwide and punish women with their dangerous Project 2025 agenda.

Trump: Promised to be "leading the charge" in banning abortion nationwide.

Rolling Stone: "Trump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report"

Trump: "There of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it's very important."

Trump: "There has to be some form of punishment [for women who have an abortion]."

Interviewer: "There are ads running that say that you would support certain states with bans monitoring a woman's pregnancy."

Trump: "Well that would be up to the states, again. They will make a decision as to how they do it."

Washington Post: "Vance urged DOJ to enforce Comstock Act, crack down on abortion pills"

CNN: "JD Vance said in 2022 he 'would like abortion to be illegal nationally'"

"During a podcast interview in January 2022, then-candidate JD Vance said he 'certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally' and was 'sympathetic' to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion."

Newsweek: "J.D. Vance Backs 'National Standard' for Abortions"

Daily Beast: "J.D. Vance suggested he would support prohibiting abortion even in cases of rape and incest-and dismissed those catalysts as 'inconvenient.'"

New Republic: "On January 20, 2025, conservatives plan to resurrect a 150-year-old defunct law to ban abortion across the nation. This is not a secret plan-far from it. It's part of the 180-Day Playbook produced by Project 2025, detailing priorities for an incoming conservative president on day one.

"The playbook says the president should enforce a 150-year-old law, the Comstock Act, which right-wing groups see as a way to ban abortion nationally because it outlaws the use of the mail for the purposes of sending or receiving any object that could be used for an abortion."

Vance: "I've reviewed a lot of [Project 2025]. There are some good ideas in there."

Axios: "[Project 2025] is undeniably a Trump-driven operation. The biggest tell: Johnny McEntee - one of Trump's closest White House aides, and his most fervent internal loyalty enforcer - is a senior adviser to Project 2025. One of the most powerful architects is Stephen Miller, a top West Wing adviser for the Trump administration."

New York Times: "Roberts told me that he views Heritage's role today as 'institutionalizing Trumpism.' This includes leading Project 2025, a transition blueprint that outlines a plan to consolidate power in the executive branch, dismantle federal agencies and recruit and vet government employees to free the next Republican president from a system that Roberts views as stacked against conservative power. The lesson of Trump's first year in office, Roberts told me, is that 'the Trump administration … simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.'"

REALITY CHECK: Attacks on reproductive freedom, like Trump and Vance's anti-choice Project 2025 agenda, are wildly unpopular.

USA Today: "Americans overwhelmingly oppose the next goal of many anti-abortion activists, to enact a federal law banning abortion nationwide. By 80%-14%, those surveyed opposed that idea, including 65% of Republicans and 83% of independents."

Axios: "Record share of U.S. voters back abortion rights and will vote on it: Gallup"

NBC News: "Abortion rights have won in every election since Roe v. Wade was overturned"

Axios: "Most Americans support abortion access one year after Roe v. Wade: poll"

CNN Poll: "About two-thirds (65%) oppose the 2022 Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and 34% approve, numbers that have remained effectively unchanged in CNN's polling across the nearly two years since the ruling. Those who strongly disapprove of the decision continue to outnumber those who strongly approve by a more than 2-to-1 margin.

"A 69% majority who disapprove of overturning Roe, including 82% of those who strongly disapprove, say that federal politicians should work to pass laws ensuring national abortion access."
