RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: “But let’s turn to Trump. At a press conference this week, the former president seemed to signal he’d be opening to banning a widely used abortion pill nationwide. Something he claimed he would not do at the first presidential debate. Trump’s campaign has since tried to downplay his remarks, but given his past track record, shouldn’t Americans be very concerned about reproductive rights should Trump win another term in office?”

Smith: “Well, of course, also this week, as you know, reverend sharpton, Donald Trump said that he didn’t think abortion was a big issue for people in this campaign. And I can tell you that he is flat out wrong about that. People have not forgotten that it is Donald Trump that nominated the Supreme Court justices that overturned roeha versus Wade where they’ve put us in this situation where one of three American women live in states where they do not have access to abortion care. And look at the contrast. Tim Walz has signed into state law one of the most strong abortion protection laws in the country, and of course, vice president Harris has said that she will sign a law to restore the protections of Roe if Congress passes it. But it’s important to know what Donald Trump is talking about here. He is talking about using this old zombie law called the comstock act to deny access to medication abortion without a single act of Congress. And that’s what’s in project 2025. He is basically saying that’s probably what he’s going to do, and that is why American women can’t trust him, and it’s another great example of the contrast between Donald Trump and vice president Harris and Tim Walz.”
