Summary
Anti-abortion groups, bolstered by Donald Trump’s return and a GOP-led Congress, are pursuing aggressive federal policies under the banner “Make America Pro-Life Again.”
Key proposals include banning abortion pills, outlawing telehealth abortions, and enforcing the Comstock Act, a 19th-century law targeting abortion-related materials.
Advocates also aim to cut federal funding for reproductive health services, redefine fetal personhood, and reverse FDA approval of mifepristone.
While abortion rights saw significant voter support in several states, activists view the 2024 election as a mandate to advance anti-abortion legislation nationwide.
This part is weird and new to me:
“…require medical-grade cleanup of the pregnancy remains left behind by medication abortions. (Students for Life argues that the pills pose a threat to the US water supply because people may pass the remains of their pregnancy into the toilet.)”
