Elizabeth Warren warns that a Trump-Vance administration could use a 151-year-old law to enforce a nationwide abortion ban, threatening the reproductive rights of all American women.

Elizabeth Warren did not hold back in her response to JD Vance’s recent claim that Donald Trump would veto any federal abortion ban if it reached his desk. Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, made the assertion during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press. Warren, however, was quick to counter, emphasizing that American women are not fooled by these assurances and warning of a much darker reality if Trump and Vance win the upcoming election.
During his Meet the Press interview, JD Vance confidently stated that Donald Trump would veto a federal abortion ban, should such legislation pass through Congress. “He said that explicitly that he would,” Vance told NBC’s Kristen Welker. However, when Welker pressed him on whether Trump had indeed made such a promise, Vance did not provide a clear response.
Donald Trump’s history with abortion rights is a complex and troubling one. Although Vance claimed that Trump would veto a federal ban, Trump has a track record that suggests otherwise. In April, Trump declared that he would not interfere with states imposing strict abortion bans, stating they should be allowed to do “whatever they decide.” Moreover, Trump has repeatedly boasted about his role in ending Roe v. Wade, proudly taking credit for the Supreme Court decision that revoked federal abortion rights. This decision came about thanks to a right-wing Supreme Court supermajority that includes three justices appointed by Trump himself. Furthermore, Trump has previously urged the Senate to pass legislation banning abortion nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
