Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump Suggests He May Back Birth Control Restrictions

HeadlineMay 22, 2024

Donald Trump suggested in an interview on Tuesday that he supports restrictions on birth control. He was questioned by a journalist at KDKA in Pittsburgh.

Jon Delano: “Do you support any restrictions on a person’s right to contraception?”

Donald Trump: “Well, we’re looking at that, and I’m going to have a policy on that very shortly. And I think it’s something that you’ll find interesting.”

Trump went on to say “some states are going to have different policy than others.” After facing backlash, Trump wrote on social media that he would “never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control.”
