Fact Check: Would Donald Trump force states to monitor women’s pregnancies?
Al Jazeera
Kamala Harris often claims that a Trump administration would interfere with pregnancies. But is that really true?
On multiple occasions in her closing pitch to voters, Vice President Kamala Harris said her opponent, former President Donald Trump, would intrude on women’s pregnancies.
As she denounced Trump’s record on reproductive rights, she said on October 29 that he would “force states to monitor women’s pregnancies”. She urged listeners to “Google Project 2025 and read the plans for yourself”, referring to a conservative policy blueprint assembled by some of Trump’s supporters.
Harris repeated the line the following night at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin.
Harris’s statement echoed a similar one by her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who said that Project 2025 would require women to “register with a new federal agency when you get pregnant”.
The Harris campaign again pointed to Project 2025 when asked for evidence of Harris’s claim.
