Pro-life groups sound off after Trump says he will not restrict abortion pills: 'Serious and growing threat'

During an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" this past weekend, Trump was asked whether he would restrict abortion pill access via executive action.

Trump responded definitively that "the answer is no."

Pressed whether he would commit to not restricting abortion pills, the president-elect said: "Well I commit" but noted circumstances may change.

"I don't like putting myself in a position like that," he said. "So, things do change, but I don't think it's going to change at all."

While she criticized the "reckless actions" of the Biden-Harris administration to expand abortion pill access, Dannenfelser said "no one who cares about the health and well-being of women can afford to ignore this issue." 

"We have a lot to talk about with the Trump-Vance administration," Hawkins said, adding, "President Trump has shown himself to be a reasonable leader who makes decisions based on the best information available."

"We hope to be agents of change, providing new information about how the changes made by the Biden-Harris administration on chemical abortion pill policy expose women to injury, infertility, and death, empowers abusers and allows for drinking water pollution through the flushing of medical waste," she said. "So, we look forward to a frank discussion about what three Democratic Party presidents did to help their friends in Big Abortion Pharma. We can't wait to give President Trump the new information he needs to act." 

"Big Pharma has exploited far too many women for too long, and the abortion industry should not get a pass when it comes to drug protocols and evidence-based regulations," he said. "Given President Trump's pro-life record, together with the personnel he has nominated to key positions, we remain hopeful the new administration will take a serious look at these drugs and act accordingly."
