## Vance Claims Trump Would Veto Federal Abortion Ban. Warren Responds: 'Women Are Not Stupid'

Authored by commondreams.org

"American women are not stupid and we are not going to trust the futures of our daughters and granddaughters to two men who have openly bragged about blocking access to abortion for women all across this country," Warren (D-Mass.)

The Democratic senator went on to warn that if Trump and Vance win in November, their administration could wield a 151-year-old zombie statute known as the Comstock Act to ban abortion nationwide, without even needing congressional approval.

Last year, Vance joined dozens of Republican lawmakers in calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to enforce the long-dormant Comstock Act and "shut down all mail-order abortion operations.".

Warren's comments came after Vance told Welker in an interview that aired Sunday that he believes Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if such a measure passed Congress.

When he was president, Trump urged the U.S. Senate to pass legislation banning abortion at the federal level after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Warren noted Sunday that with Roe overturned, 30% of women in the U.S. "live in states that effectively ban abortion.".

"Donald Trump and JD Vance in the White House, it won't be 30%, it will be 100%," Warren said. »
