Trump Is Worried Women Will (Accurately) Blame Him for Abortion Bans, Hopes His VP Pick Will Provide Cover

Why it matters: This is all play pretend theatre to fool voters who aren’t paying close attention. Regardless of who Trump picks, if he gets back in the White House it is likely abortion access will be even more restricted than it is now—even in blue states.
