Opinion: The new GOP strategy on abortion shouldn't fool anyone

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Why have anti-abortion groups tried to ban the abortion pill, and why have many Republicans not only backed them, but taken it upon themselves to warn pharmacies that sell these pills?
51% : After that point, she presumably understands, Trump can do whatever he wants -- including the extreme anti-abortion movement's bidding.
40% : So, we should assume that what Trump says in order to get elected gives us very little information on what he will actually do in office.
38% : The 2024 Republican platform has not yet been published, and accounts suggest it is largely shaping up to be a document that does little more than pledge allegiance to Trump and his MAGA politics.
35% : Earlier this year, he said a 15-week national ban sounded very reasonable; now he doesn't seem to want to discuss it.Trump also seems to want to distance himself from Project 2025, a plan devised by the conservative group the Heritage Foundation, which aims to drastically reshape the federal government to better support a conservative agenda if Trump should regain the White House.
33% : He has proved he is not an honest or trustworthy man so we should assume that what Trump says in order to get elected gives us very little information on what he will actually do in office, writes Filipovic.
30% : That means a lot of vague hand-waving: Trump has never been a politician who is heavy on the policy specifics, or who even mentions more than a few issues (crime, the economy and immigration are his go-tos).
29% : "I have no idea who is behind it," Trump said of Project 2025 on Truth Social.
27% : Trump appointed three conservative justices to the US Supreme Court, all of whom helped to overturn Roe v. Wade and end the national right to abortion in the US.
25% : Why has Trump suggested he would support a national 15-week ban?
20% : Trump has given little indication that he cares about abortion rights one way or another, and he has flip-flopped on the issue throughout his life in the public eye.
