Pelosi Says It Is a ‘Guarantee’ that Trump Will Enact National Abortion Ban if He Wins

HAYES: “You are someone who spent a lifetime in politics, from the time your father was the mayor of Baltimore, so you understand the way that political incentives work. When you look at what has happened to the Republican Party, when you look at something like last night, when these three state senators had stood in the way of this ban, they get primaried, they lose, like, what does that do to the way that Republicans understand what they have to do and what they will do about abortion, no matter what messaging they will say on, say, a debate stage?”
Pelosi: “Well, thank you very much for your question. It is good to be here as we observe the two-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision. And I can tell you that this week we’ve had a drumbeat across America of events all over, talking about how we have to reverse that decision with law, by winning the election, and enshrining Roe v. Wade in the law of the land, and also how people see it as a kitchen table issue. This is an economic issue for families, the size and timing of their families, or if they are going to have a family. It’s a freedom issue. It’s a democracy issue. It is about freedom for women to make their own choices. So when you see that election in North Carolina last night, it was heartbreaking. Those women were courageous. They went out and said what they believed, and that was rejected by the voters. But we have to make sure that the voters know. And one thing they will know is the difference between Joe Biden and the former president of the United States. If the other guy wins, there will be no question there will be a national abortion ban in our country. I say that very sadly, as a Roman Catholic.”
