When a reporter asked Donald Trump on Thursday whether he would consider banning abortion pills, his response was predictably garbled. But the key words in the Republican presidential nominee’s reply were, “Sure, you could,” and “absolutely.”
The question came during a press conference held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, his first public appearance since Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
“Sure, you could—you could do things that will be, would supplement,” Trump said when asked if he would use regulations to ban mifepristone, commonly known as the abortion pill. “Absolutely ... But you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote.”
