A 15-week abortion ban is a deeply unpopular and extreme policy that brings severe consequences.

“they can try to describe 15 15-week ban is not being extreme and it is less extreme than the six-week ban and some of the other more extreme bands that have been already put on the books but a 15-week ban in practice is uh will ultimately be deeply unpopular and will be in albatross around their nec”

He indicates that the Supreme Court ruling allows states to cut Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding, which negatively impacts access to reproductive and preventative health care services.

“it will strip those South Carolinians and countless other Medicaid recipients around the country of a deeply personal freedom, the ability to decide who treats us at our most vulnerable.”

Rahna Epting claims that Joe Biden's position on abortion, which supports the right to choose, is aligned with what most Americans approve of.

“Joe Biden has made his position clear that he believes it should be the right of women and and people that can can um get pregnant to decide what happens to their own bodies and that's that's the position that most of Americans approve of”

Abortion laws are essentially a tool for controlling women's bodies rather than a genuine effort to protect babies.

“Pro-life politics are really just proontrolling women's bodies. Let's be real. You guys don't really care about babies that much.”

Criminalizing abortion creates a carceral state and ignores the real-world medical complexities that arise when providers fear prosecution for treating pregnancy complications.

“it's essentially putting women and pregnant people back in the picture and saying what we're doing is criminalizing some of these people. We're not actually helping anyone by doing that. We're just creating a bigger carceral state.”

Abortion is a harmful practice that should be banned because it destroys human life and poses significant health risks to women.

“Abortion drugs, you know, they should be banned for what they do to babies. Which is why when you see stories like this and and you know, there are some conservatives that are, you know, highlighting this this study, which we should highlight it.”

There is no medical justification for abortion in the third trimester even to save the mother, as induced delivery is the standard of care for medical crises.

“There is never a reason at that point in the pregnancy to kill the baby to save the mother. If the mother has to deliver, that does happen. She has preeacclampsia or something like that, you deliver the child. There is no reason to kill the child first.”

Abortion should be illegal because it constitutes the intentional killing of innocent human life.

“My only point is it would seem to me that we should not kill innocent babies in the womb or out of the womb. That's my whole point.”

He asserts that abortion policy should be determined by individual states rather than a federal standard.

“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint the states will determined by Vote or legislation or perhaps both and whatever they decide must be the law of the land in this case the law of the state”

President Trump states that he opposes a national ban on abortion and believes the issue should be determined by individual states.

“I don't need a national ban because it's up to the states right now”
