ATTN Lara Trump: The Trump-Vance Project 2025 Agenda to Ban Abortion Nationwide Isn’t a “Niche Issue” Arrow

In response to Lara Trump dismissing reproductive freedoms as a "niche issue," DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement:

"Here's what Lara Trump is reducing to a 'niche issue': women being denied critical emergency care and dying preventable deaths under draconian abortion bans Donald Trump made possible. Lara Trump's shameful statements are yet another attempt by Trump's MAGA Republican Party to cover for the Trump-Vance ticket's wildly unpopular Project 2025 agenda to ban abortion nationwide and rip away our basic freedoms. Voters see right through her spin, and will reject the Trump-Vance ticket's anti-choice extremism in November."

NEW: Lara Trump called reproductive freedoms a "niche issue" while women are suffering under abortion bans across the country that are delaying emergency medical care and leading to "preventable" deaths.

Lara Trump: "[Democrats] are focusing on very niche issues like abortion."

NBC News: "A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban"

ProPublica: "Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother's Death Was Preventable."

"But ProPublica obtained reports that confirm that at least two women have already died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state…

"Thurman's case marks the first time an abortion-related death, officially deemed 'preventable,' is coming to public light. ProPublica will share the story of the second in the coming days…

"But since abortion was banned or restricted in 22 states over the past two years, women in serious danger have been turned away from emergency rooms and told that they needed to be in more peril before doctors could help. Some have been forced to continue high-risk pregnancies that threatened their lives. Those whose pregnancies weren't even viable have been told they could return when they were 'crashing.'"

TRUMP DID THIS: Trump paved the way for draconian abortion bans - which he's celebrated as "working very brilliantly" - when he "proudly" overturned Roe v. Wade.

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

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."

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: "After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the 'shock' of everyone … Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to. Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!"

Trump: "I'm the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade, and everybody said that was an impossible thing to do. I put on three Supreme Court justices. Very few people have had that privilege or honor."

Trump: "Getting rid of Roe v. Wade was an incredible thing for pro-life because it gave pro-life something to negotiate with. Pro-life had absolutely nothing, being stuck in Roe v. Wade, to negotiate with. … And look, everybody that was president wanted to get rid and tried to get rid of Roe v. Wade … For fifty years, this has been going on. I was able to do it, and I was very honored to do it."

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

Trump, Vance, and their Project 2025 allies are pushing a dangerous Project 2025 agenda that would ban abortion nationwide, threaten access to IVF and contraception, and rip away reproductive freedoms.

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"

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."

Politico: "Anti-abortion advocates worked for five decades to topple Roe v. Wade. They're now laying the groundwork for a yearslong fight to curb in vitro fertilization.

"Since the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month that frozen embryos are children, the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups have been strategizing how to convince not just GOP officials but evangelicals broadly that they should have serious moral concerns about fertility treatments like IVF and that access to them should be curtailed."

Media Matters: "The Heritage Foundation quietly released draconian new IVF policy recommendations for the next GOP president"

"Heritage has been a staunchly anti-IVF voice, supporting Alabama's controversial Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos cultivated through IVF treatment have the same rights as living children, and that a person can be held liable for destroying embryos."

The Nation: "Project 2025 Has Bad Medicine for HHS"

"And by declaring that life begins at conception, his manifesto appears to commit HHS to finding ways to outlaw IVF, which relies on generating multiple embryos, most of which are not implanted."

The 19th: "RNC approves platform that would give rights to fetuses, endangering abortion, IVF"

"Fetal personhood is widely seen as being in conflict with in vitro fertilization (IVF), which creates embryos outside of the uterus that are later implanted. Fetal personhood bestows the same rights currently reserved for people to embryos from the moment of fertilization."

Reproductive Freedom for All: "The extensive mandate calls to gut reproductive freedom, including effectively banning medication abortion, ending access to emergency abortion care, attacking contraception, deploying fetal personhood, and undermining IVF in federal policy…

"Project 2025 includes personhood language and policies that propagate the belief that life begins at conception-which could have devastating impacts should it be put into law. This so-called "personhood" language could ban not only abortion but also some forms of birth control and assisted fertility treatments like IVF."

Rolling Stone: "Inside the MAGA Plan to Attack Birth Control, Surveil Women and Ban the Abortion Pill"

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."
