Concerns grow over abortion access under potential Trump administration

twincities.com

Concerns are rising about abortion access under a potential new Trump administration, especially in states like Maryland that have protected abortion rights. Maryland recently passed a measure to enshrine abortion access in its state constitution, joining six other states. Project 2025, a conservative initiative, aims to restrict reproductive health services federally. It suggests measures like defunding Medicaid programs and reversing the approval of abortion medications, raising questions about how these actions could affect states with strong abortion protections. While Maryland has taken steps to safeguard abortion access, experts warn that a federal ban could undermine these efforts. The impact of a second Trump presidency on abortion rights remains uncertain, with legal challenges anticipated if restrictions are imposed.
