Make no mistake: this Trump presidency will continue to attack abortion rights
Just because Trump is publicly distancing himself from abortion does not mean Republicans won’t enact a national ban
Summary
Abortion rights measures succeeded in seven states, though Florida’s proposal fell short of its 60% threshold. But with Donald Trump set for a second term and Republicans likely to control Congress, his administration will likely restrict access nationwide.
Trump may also restrict access via federal agencies, targeting abortion drugs, contraception, and enforcing the Comstock Act against mailing abortion-related materials.
His judicial appointments could further limit reproductive rights.
Women should prepare for these restrictions by considering sterilization, long-acting birth control, and purchasing emergency contraception and abortion pills in advance.
