Recent statements from political leaders have intensified the debate over a potential national abortion ban in the U.S. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has consistently asserted that if Donald Trump were to win the presidency again, he would support a national abortion ban, despite his public opposition. This stance has been echoed in various statements where Pelosi emphasized that Trump's true intentions align with a national ban, a sentiment she describes as contrary to democracy and women's economic freedom. Meanwhile, Mike Johnson, a Republican, appeared confused about the matter during an interview, despite reports that he and other House Republicans have backed a bill supporting such a ban.
