Jason Miller, senior advisor to former President Donald Trump, said that if Trump wins again, “It’s ‘going to be up to the states’ whether or not they set up regimes to monitor women’s pregnancies so they can prosecute them for getting out-of-state abortions.”
In other words, Trump will support Republican attorneys general and other law enforcement officials hunting down people who cross state lines to receive abortions for any reason.
He praised a collection of essays that blame IVF and childless women for harming America.
An interviewer with the conservative news outlet Newsmax asked Miller if this is something Trump would support, saying, “[Trump] wouldn’t support monitoring pregnancies even if a state decided to do that?”

Miller replied, “Well, he’s made it very clear that he’s not gonna go and weigh in and try to push various states in how they want to go and set up their particular rules and restrictions. That’s gonna be up to the states.”
Jason Miller says it’s “going to be up to the states” whether or not they set up regimes to monitor women’s pregnancies so they can prosecute them for getting out of state abortions.
The implications of this type of policy extend beyond abortion rights, as it also could affect gender-affirming care.
For example, with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton aiming to access medical records for trans individuals both inside and outside of his own state, looser restrictions could lead to privacy invasions for those who have medically transitioned. Such investigations also potentially threaten privacy relating to HIV care, possibly including medication like PrEP.
Talking Points Memo founder John Marshall said of this statement on X, “Trump kingpin Jason Miller gives the thumbs up to states that want to set up full menstrual surveillance departments.”
He continued, “JD Vance is a major Menstrual Surveillance proponent. But the Trump camp has been fairly good and at[sic] avoiding the issue. This explicit green light from Miller changes that. Walz shld[sic] definitely bring this up at his debate with Johnny Donuts and Harris campaign shld[sic] pounce generally.”
