@nevadannews Trump said during an interview his campaign was open to considering restrictions on contraceptives such as the birth control pill — comments that he quickly walked back after blowback, despite what seems to be growing support on the right for restrictions to contraception. “We’re in this position because of Donald Trump,” US Sen.

The group behind the push — Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom — announced they collected enough signatures to have the proposal added to the Nov. 5 general election ballot.
