Voters in battleground states say they have received strange, automated text messages from a group called “Trump for Traditional Wives.” The messages state that women need to be obedient to their husbands, sex before marriage is a sin, pregnancy is women’s “holy calling,” and that, if re-elected, former President Donald Trump will ban contraception.
The texts all come from different phone numbers and feature images of the Duggar family, most well-known for their TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, a pregnant woman with three young girls, Trump holding a Bible, and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Women today need to go back to serving their Husbands and knowing their role as an obedient wife and loving mother,” one of the texts Georgia voters reads. “Life begins at conception and sex before marriage is a sin. Please vote for our President, Donald J. Trump. stop to end.”
Sending out new text messages to lock down the women’s vote. I think they’ve done it with this one.

Other texts that include the “Trump for Traditional Wives” branding state that “Donald Trump will direct the government to block birth control and restore traditional Christian values.”
“With Trump back in the White House, women can once again understand our role as submissive wives. Pregnancy is a holy calling,” one text received by redditor with a Wisconsin area code states. “Kamala Harris will put an abortion clinic on every block! Remember in November. stop to end.”
Has anyone else been getting spammed by these scummy texts? I live in a non-battleground state, but my phone number still has a Wisconsin area code.

Other voters from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina also posted on Reddit that they received a text that was branded “Trump for Sexual Purity” and included images of Harris with her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, her ex-boyfriend actor Montell Williams, and her ex-boyfriend and former Mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown.
“Kamala Harris is no role model for our girls! She slept around, married late, and has never experienced the holiness of pregnancy and childbirth,” the “Trump for Sexual Purity” text reads. “Maybe this is why she doesn’t understand the sanctity of life. A Christian woman would never run for President… Vote PRESIDENT TRUMP! stop to end.”
Ayla Tucker, a Wisconsin voter, told the Daily Dot that she replied to that message by saying “fuck Trump” and “stop.” She didn’t report the text, though, because she didn’t think doing so would help.
“I didn’t feel like inviting more attention or wasting time on it,” Tucker said.
A North Carolina voter told the Daily Dot they received multiple texts about Harris’ dating history—and even though they’ve blocked the numbers the messages come from, they have continued to receive such texts.
And Jared, a Georgia voter, got other versions of the “Trump for Sexual Purity” texts. Jared declined to share his last name with the Daily Dot.
“Donald Trump will direct the government to block birth control, stop casual hookup culture, end pornography, and restore traditional marriage to our nation,” one of the texts read.
“Fuck off,” Jared responded to one of the messages.
A similar text was also sent to Pennsylvania voters with an image of Trump holding a Bible with the words “I’m the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade,” referencing how Trump nominated three conservative Supreme Court justices who decided, with other conservative justices on the Court, to overturn Roe v. Wade, which enshrined the constitutional protection of abortion, in 2022.
“President Trump and JD Vance know that women today will be elevated in God’s kingdom by submitting to our Husbands and embracing childbearing as our sacred duty. That’s why Trump got rid of Roe v. Wade,” the text states. “Don’t let Childless Kamala Harris stop Trump from finishing God’s plan for women stop to end.”
Aimee Gaberseck, a registered Democrat in Pennsylvania, received that message, which she told the Daily Dot she reported to her phone carrier, Verizon, and the Federal Communications Commission.

Trump has dodged questions about whether he would sign a national abortion ban and ban contraceptives if re-elected—though he has repeatedly said abortion should be left up to the states.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Dot’s request for comment.
