He added, “I’m probably going to stick with exactly what I’ve been saying for the last couple of years,” that abortion is a state issue, not federal.
Pressed on whether he would commit to not restricting abortion pills, the president-elect said, “Well, I commit,” but noted that circumstances can change.
“Do things change? I think they do,” he continued, pointing to the president Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden after repeatedly committing categorically the opposite.
“I don’t like to put myself in a position like that,” he said. “So things change, but I don’t think it changes at all.”

Access to chemical abortion was important expanded under the Biden administrationwhich permanently removed the requirement that pills be administered through in-person appointments and allowed the drugs to be delivered by mail or obtained from retail pharmacies such as CVS or Walgreens.
In a statement sent to Fox News Digital, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life Americasaid that “unregulated mail-order abortion drugs are a serious and growing threat to the health and safety of women, as well as the lives of countless unborn children across the country.”
While criticizing the Biden-Harris administration’s “reckless actions” to expand access to abortion pills, Dannenfelser said “no one who cares about the health and well-being of women can afford to ignore this problem.”
In reference to the recent high-profile deaths of Catherine Herring, Amber Thurman, Candy Miller i Alyona Dixon because of the complications of abortion pills, Dannenfelser said that “even the pro-abortion media cannot hide that these drugs are killing women and fueling dangerous new forms of domestic violence.”

Kristan Hawkins, President of Action Students for Lifeindicated that he was optimistic that Trump would see the danger of unfettered access to chemical abortion, telling Fox News Digital, “Many leaders are now learning how the pill hurts women and the environment.”
“We have a lot to talk about with the Trump-Vance administration,” Hawkins said, adding, “President Trump has proven himself to be a reasonable leader who makes decisions based on the best available information.”
“We hope to be agents of change, providing new insights into how the changes made by the Biden-Harris administration to chemical abortion pill policy expose women to injury, infertility and death, empower abusers and enable water pollution potable by washing medical waste,” he said. “So we look forward to a frank discussion about what three Democratic Party chairmen did to help their friends at Big Abortion Pharma. We can’t wait to give President Trump the new information he needs to act.”

Meanwhile, Brian Burch, president of the conservative activism group “Catholic Vote”, told Fox News Digital that Trump’s admission that “things change,” indicates that he “would be open to addressing the overwhelming body of evidence that shows how harmful these drugs are to women.”
“Big pharma has exploited too many women for too long, and the abortion industry should not get a pass when it comes to evidence-based drug protocols and regulations,” she said. “Given President Trump’s pro-life record, along with the staff he has appointed to key positions, we are hopeful that the new administration will take a serious look at these drugs and act accordingly.”
