CLAIM: “Trump is trying to create this new government entity that will monitor all pregnancies to enforce their abortion bans.”
VERDICT: FALSE. This is a lie that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz repeat despite numerous fact checks.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, speaking at a rally in Asheville, North Carolina, on Tuesday, repeated a claim that Vice President Kamala Harris made at the Democratic National Convention and again at the presidential debate that former President Donald Trump wants to create a “monitor” or “coordinator” for pregnancies to enforce abortion bans.

As Donald Trump and his new running mate JD Vance try to soften their anti-abortion position ahead of the 2024 election, new documents uncovered by The Lever show Vance lobbied just last year to let police track people who cross state lines for abortions. Vance, a first-term senator from Ohio, pressured federal regulators to kill a privacy rule designed to prevent state and local police in anti-abortion states from using private medical records to prosecute people who access abortion services elsewhere. “What’s really shocking and scary about this story is that the rule was just implemented by the Biden administration, it wasn’t signed into law. So, an incoming Trump administration could potentially repeal it,” says reporter Veronica Riccobene.
