Concerns grow over abortion access under potential Trump administration in Maryland

Concerns are rising about abortion access under a potential new Trump administration, especially in states like Maryland that have recently protected abortion rights. Maryland voters approved a measure to enshrine abortion access in the state constitution, amid fears of federal restrictions. Project 2025, a conservative initiative, aims to limit reproductive health services, including potential funding cuts to states like Maryland. It suggests reversing FDA approvals for abortion medications and enforcing the Comstock Act, which could impact access to abortion pills. While Maryland has strengthened its abortion protections, the threat of a federal ban looms. The state's Attorney General plans to challenge any federal restrictions, but the overall impact of a second Trump presidency on abortion access remains uncertain.
