The Trump presidential campaign clarified Tuesday that former President Donald Trump has never advocated for any restrictions on contraceptives and was in fact referring to the abortion pill mifepristone when teasing the imminent rollout of a “very comprehensive” policy proposal when asked on a Pittsburgh television station about whether he has any plans to restrict access to birth control.

President Trump’s comments sparked some controversy online, with President Joe Biden’s campaign running an attack ad suggesting the former president is considering restricting access to contraception, while Virginia Democrats alleged in a post on X that “Trump supports restrictions to contraception” that would embolden his “MAGA allies” such as Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
