Trump REJECTS claims he will ban the morning after pill just hours after suggesting he would limit contraception: 'Another Democrat lie'
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday dramatically walked back the suggestion he was open to the possibility of restricting some forms of birth control.
The former president caused confusion after an interview with KDKA-TV anchor Jon Delano, who questioned him on the issue of birth control.
When Delano asked if he supports any restrictions on a woman's right to use contraception, Trump was evasive.
'We're looking at that, and I'm gonna have a policy on that very shortly,' he replied, adding 'it's very interesting.'
After his muddled answer about what limitations might be on the table, Trump later clarified his position in a dramatic Truth Social post.
'I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER ADVOCATE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL, or other contraceptives,' he wrote on social media.

When asked about the morning-after pill, Trump was also evasive, noting that it depended on what state governments preferred.
'Things really do have a lot to do with the states and some states are going to have different policies than others,' he said.
The Biden campaign reacted quickly to Trump's remarks, claiming the Republican presidential nominee was 'open to restricting access to birth control and emergency contraceptives.'

'It's not enough for Trump that women's lives are being put at risk, doctors are being threatened with jail time, and extreme bans are being enacted with no exceptions for rape or incest,' Biden campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement. 'He wants to rip away our freedom to access birth control too.'
Trump quickly reacted to the accusation from the Biden campaign, accusing them of lying.
'This is a Democrat fabricated lie, MISINFORMATION/DISINFORMATION, because they have nothing else to run on except FAILURE, POVERTY, AND DEATH,' Trump wrote. 'I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!'
Vice President Kamala Harris condemned Trump's comments, warning voters of his position on the issue.
'A second Trump term would mean more bans, more suffering, and less freedom,' she wrote on social media.
