Trump's projected win could reshape abortion rights in the U.S

huffpost.com

Donald Trump’s projected victory in the presidential race could significantly impact abortion rights in the U.S. This election marks the first since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, with many states voting to protect abortion access despite Trump's support for restrictive policies. Trump's administration may enforce the Comstock Act, which could criminalize the mailing of abortion pills, effectively creating a nationwide ban. His allies plan to implement an extreme anti-abortion agenda, including appointing officials who oppose reproductive rights. Additionally, Trump is expected to reinstate the global gag rule, limiting U.S. aid to organizations that provide abortion information. This policy could restrict vital health services worldwide, aligning the U.S. with conservative countries on reproductive issues.
