By the end of his first full week in office, President Trump took calculated steps regarding abortion, which is a politically sensitive topic. He pardoned 23 anti-abortion protesters, overturned Biden-era protections, and reinstated a Republican ban on federal funding for global organizations that promote abortions. While these actions are seen as insufficient by his conservative base, they reflect his navigation of public sentiment, which largely supports abortion rights. Democrats sense a potential threat, suggesting that Trump's moves are aimed at gradually undermining reproductive rights without drawing major backlash.
Late last week, amid a hailstorm of other policy measures, the president pardoned 23 anti-abortion protesters. He overturned two orders issued by former President Joseph Biden that had burnished federal abortion protections.
Democrats and supporters of abortion rights see an opening all the same. I think, while he is quiet about it, he is trying to lay the groundwork to erode reproductive rights in ways that are very dangerous.
