Trump's 'ridiculous' argument shredded by woman who was nearly killed by abortion laws

Former President Donald Trump's recent remarks that abortion should be left to the states is "ridiculous," said Amanda Zurawski on CNN.

Zurawski, who nearly died as a result of Texas' total ban on abortion after suffering a miscarriage and is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the state for her suffering, discussed the problem as Florida's near-total abortion ban takes effect — and as voters there are presented with a ballot measure to reverse it.

"[Trump] says this is not on him," said anchor Kate Bolduan. "What's your reaction?"

"I mean it's ridiculous ... he's endorsing what happened to me," said Zurawski. "He's endorsing people who seek abortions, getting punished for seeking health care, and we know that this is a result of him because he [appointed] the Supreme Court justices that allowed the fall of Roe v. Wade, that put the rights back in the states who are making these insane draconian laws like the ones in Texas and Florida and Arizona. This is his fault and he continues to endorse these crazy bans by saying that this is, this is how it should be ... he really avoided despite multiple questions from this report or with time to take a position on whether or not he would veto a national abortion ban if it came across his desk."

"If Congress passed it, he says, well, it's just not going to happen in this, isn't up to me to decide," said Bolduan. "Does that bring you comfort? Do you believe those words? What do you say to them?"

"No, of course it doesn't bring me comfort," said Zurawski. "I don't believe it. He also failed to say whether he would protect IVF. He's talking out of both sides of his mouth because he knows that this is a critical issue. It's one of the key issues of this election and he knows that most Americans do not support the policies and bans that he has previously endorsed, that he continues to endorse. You know, he's trying to walk back things that he knows are unpopular, and all you have to do is look at his track record which speaks for itself. He will endorse a national abortion ban, he's already told us that, and who knows how far he'll go beyond it?"
