Trump, In her long late night letter to Truth Social, she wrote in bold letters, “Women are poorer than they were four years ago, less healthy than they were four years ago, less safe on the streets than they were four years ago, more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago, and less optimistic and confident about the future than they were four years ago.”
Trump says he won’t ban abortion pills or medications if elected, says he believes in ‘exceptions’
“I will fix all this, and quickly, and finally this national nightmare will be over,” he said. “Women will be happy, healthy, confident and free!”
Polls have consistently shown Trump leading strongly against Vice President Kamala Harris across most demographic groups, but struggling with women. A big reason for this is that three of his Supreme Court picks helped overturn three Justices he had elected to the Supreme Court. Roe vs. WadeWhich ensured abortion protections under federal law.
In his post, Trump wrote that women “will no longer have to think about abortion, because it is now where it always should have been, with the states, and with a vote of the people — and with powerful exceptions, like Ronald Reagan’s, that pushed for rape, incest, and the life of the mother — but not abortion in the 7th, 8th, or 9th month, or even killing the baby after birth, as demanded by the Democrats.”

The former president’s move for women’s votes comes after Vice President Harris campaigned in Georgia, where she gave a speech about the consequences of “Trump’s extreme abortion restrictions” as part of her campaign.
“After Vice President Harris spoke all week about the consequences of Trump’s abortion restrictions and the stakes of this election for women’s lives, Donald Trump went on a rant — late one night on his phone about women being demeaned,” Harris-Walz 2024 spokeswoman Sarafina Chitika said in response to Trump’s Truth social post. “After taking away our reproductive freedom, he’s now trying to tell us how we should think.”
“Trump thinks he can control women — he’s wrong,” Chitika said.
The Harris campaign said they were “horrified that women across the country will vote as if our lives and liberty depended on it, because they do.”
“Women aren’t stupid. We see Trump’s Project 2025 agenda for what it is: an extreme plan to ban abortion nationwide and threaten access to IVF and birth control,” Chitika said. “That’s how we’ll be voting this November.”

But Trump campaign national press secretary Caroline Levitt told Fox News Digital that Harris and President Joe Biden have put women’s lives at risk, and mentioned the names of women who have been killed by illegal immigrants.
“President Trump is right. Kamala may have wanted to be the first female president, but she has made women’s lives worse — more dangerous and more expensive,” Levitt said. “If Kamala cared about women’s safety, she would have closed the border and not allowed rapists and murderers to come into our country to prey on young women and girls. Kamala never named Laken Riley, Joselyn Nunguare, and Rachel Morin. President Trump has honored their lives and comforted their grieving families.”
“If women want safety, security and prosperity for their families, there is only one choice on the ballot for them — President Trump,” Levitt said.
As for Project 2025, a blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation for a Republican administration, Levitt reiterated Trump’s statement that he did not initiate it and has no plans to implement it if elected.
“President Trump has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with Project 2025,” Levitt said, adding that “Kamala’s campaign is lying because they are losing.”
