Trump's potential second term could increase abortion restrictions in the US

economictimes.indiatimes.com

Donald Trump’s potential second term could lead to increased restrictions on abortion access in the U.S. Experts suggest he may target abortion pills, revive an old law to limit abortion materials, and appoint judges who support stricter abortion laws. Abortion pills, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of U.S. abortions last year, could face new regulations. A Trump administration might reinstate in-person requirements for obtaining these medications, reversing changes made under President Biden. Additionally, Trump could leverage the Comstock Act to restrict the mailing of abortion-related materials. This could disrupt supply chains in states where abortion remains legal, further complicating access for women seeking care.
