Will they ram through a nationwide abortion ban?

[yourout]

Filibuster will not stop them I fear.

[CrispyQ]

1. I think it will be on the top five things they do. He's mad that women don't like him so we're on his enemies list. -nt

[yourout]

3. In short order some women who voted for him are going to...

Have a.. "what have I done" moment.

[Volaris]

17. It'll be the first legislative priority

[Klarkashton]

2. Is trump orange?

[onecaliberal]

4. Yes. It will be one of the first things.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. He will sell it as a "compromise"

It will be a 6 week ban with some exceptions. He’ll pretend he’s the great deal maker.

[MANative]

6. Of course - top priority. The next question is how quickly...

a contraceptive ban will follow. Handmaiden's Tale come to life.

[unblock]

7. If they win the house, you can count on it

[TomSlick]

13. Exactly.

[Silent Type]

8. Some GOPers will definitely introduce legislation, but think it will ultimately fail. It'll be left to states.

That's where we need to be working until mid-terms.

9. Even without the house, they will use the comstock act...

To withdraw every medication that could possibly be used to provide abortion or birth control.

They will deny federal funding to states that dont enact a ban, and scotus will uphold it.

In short, there is an extreme amount of pressure they can bring. They never could in the past because of roe and biden, but those will both be gone.

[Voltaire2]

10. The plan is in this document called Project 2025

They of course will abolish the filibuster if they also control the house, which they very likely will. They intend to restrict access to abortion using the comstock act to forbid interstate shipments of mifepristone.

An overt nationwide ban is very likely.

[valleyrogue]

11. FDA will ban mifepristone. n/t

[B.See]

12. In spite of lies to the contrary

Yes, they will. Contraceptives too. And vaccines. Welcome to the dark ages.

[Bobstandard]

14. Don't forget the porn

First the videos, then Lady Chatterly’s Lover, then Hemingway, Daniel Steel, all the bodice rippers, down to the Victoria’s Secret catalog

[Oopsie Daisy]

15. Yes. In record time, too. The filibuster will not exist.

[GaYellowDawg]

16. What makes you think there will even be a filibuster to use?

I'm certain that the new Republican Senate will get rid of it.

[ananda]

18. Yes, absolutely!

The whole medical establishment will face
destruction on a wide scale.

Vaccines: out the window.

Women's healthcare: out the window.

Drug prices: out the window

Safe drugs and practices: out the window.

19. Yes, eventually. Trump is actually quite unpopular with single-issue...

...anti-abortion voters, particularly the most extreme Protestant evangelicals and radtrad Catholics. The idiots on EWTN (radtrad Catholic TV) were a broken record on this issue, especially when Trump started bragging about how he "makes the best deals", e.g. the patchwork state-by-state abortion ban (devolution to the states) that is the status quo. They're really unhappy about the status quo. It's not a stable arrangement. At some point, there will be a play for a total Federal ban on abortion.
