https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5037297-trump-abortion-pill-mifepristone/Look, Ive stated it very clearly and I just stated it again very clearly. I think it would be highly unlikely, he said.
I cant imagine, but with, you know, were looking at everything, but highly unlikely.
Trumps comments echo his rhetoric from a recent sit-down interview on NBCs Meet the Press, where he said he didnt think access to abortion pills would change.
He said the pill known as mifepristone, sold under the brand name Mifeprex, was understudied.
There will be a time in the future where people are going to know everything about subjects like that, which are very complex subjects for people, because you have other people that, you know, they feel strongly both ways, really strongly both ways, and those are the things that are dividing up the country, the incoming president told Time.
But you know my stand from a very long, hard thing, and I think its highly unlikely that I ever change that.

Trump says he won't restrict abortion pill (Original Post)
In It to Win It

OP
Highly unlikely does not mean "no." Coming from a convicted liar, that means nothing. He means if Mush approves.

(51,568 posts)4. HE doesn't need to
All he needs is for the Supreme Court to declare that transporting abortion pills across state lines by any means whatsoever violates the Comstock Act, and for his FDA to withdraw the approvals for mifepristone and misoprostol.

"highly unlikely" does not equal "will not."
