Trump says he won’t ‘ban’ birth control. Here’s what he may do instead.

Donald Trump says he won’t ban birth control if he returns to the White House. But he could make it a lot harder to get.

As president, Trump enacted several policies that made it more difficult for people, particularly the working class and the poor, to obtain contraception — from allowing more employers to opt out of birth control coverage in their workers’ health insurance to imposing restrictions on the Title X family planning program that triggered a mass exodus of clinics.

Conservative allies want to reimpose those policies and go further if he wins in November. Their “Project 2025” blueprint includes proposals to remove requirements that insurance cover male condoms and emergency contraception and instead require coverage of natural family planning methods.
