Trump Says He’s Open to States Banning Birth Control

“Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that he is open to allowing states to restrict access to birth control and promised to release a ‘comprehensive policy’ on the issue soon,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump: “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. I think it’s a smart decision. But we’ll be releasing it very soon.”

He added: “Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are going to have different policy than others.”

Playbook: “It was a classically Trumpian hand-waving answer that managed to avoid taking any actual stance — but more in line with how he’s addressed access to mifepristone, not birth control.”
