Trump's claim of protecting women sparks debate over reproductive rights

Donald Trump stated he would "protect women ... whether the women like it or not," prompting mixed reactions. Tricia McLaughlin, a former Trump aide, defended his stance on women's health and reproductive rights, despite the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. McLaughlin emphasized Trump's support for in vitro fertilization and his claim of not signing a national abortion ban. She acknowledged issues in states where laws have negatively impacted women's health but called for more specifics on governance. Christine Quinn, a Democratic leader, countered McLaughlin's claims, arguing Trump has been inconsistent on abortion policy. She asserted that true leadership requires listening to women and medical professionals, contrasting Trump with Democratic leaders like Kamala Harris.
