The appointment of three Supreme Court justices by Trump led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, enabling states to impose restrictive abortion laws that adversely affect women’s health and rights.
Activists warn that a newly elected Trump could pursue measures that not only affect state-level abortion rights but potentially lead to a nationwide ban, following a roadmap laid out by anti-abortion groups.
Trump’s stance on abortion has been inconsistent, stating a preference for state control and publicly opposing a federal abortion ban, despite pressures from his anti-abortion supporters to take more extreme measures.
Using executive powers, Trump could implement significant changes to abortion policy even without Congress, such as reversing federal guidelines on medical emergencies and possibly recognizing fetal personhood, complicating legal access to abortion.
