Trump's potential second term raises concerns over abortion access in the US

sbs.com.au

Donald Trump’s potential second term could lead to increased restrictions on abortion access in the U.S. He has previously stated that abortion laws should be decided at the state level, but advocates fear federal actions could still limit access. Trump may target abortion pills first, potentially reinstating in-person requirements for prescriptions. Additionally, anti-abortion activists are looking to revive the Comstock Act, which could disrupt the supply of abortion-related materials. Voters in several states recently supported pro-abortion rights measures, while others rejected increased access. Abortion rights advocates view Trump’s election as a significant threat and plan to oppose any attempts to roll back existing protections.
