HISTORICAL FACTS: Trump fights to close er doors to women - The Untold Story

Donald Trump pretended to be a "moderate" on abortion during the presidential campaign. He denied he would back a national abortion ban and shamelessly lied about his relationship to Project 2025, which details multiple ways to restrict abortion access nationally. He falsely promised his administration "will be great for women and their reproductive rights," even as he kept bragging — in one of his few honest moments — that his Supreme Court appointees were the ones who overturned Roe v. Wade. "I fully support the three exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother," he insisted.

This week, he proved beyond all doubt that he was lying about the "exceptions," at least when it comes to saving the lives of pregnant women.
