A nationwide abortion ban could become a reality, and access to other forms of reproductive healthcare are at risk

Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election could usher in a new wave of severe restrictions on abortion access in the U.S., with his administration potentially leveraging the 19th-century Comstock Act to implement a de facto national abortion ban.

Despite public support for abortion rights, particularly following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Trump’s recent claims of supporting reproductive rights and voter focus on other issues weakened abortion’s impact on the election.

Conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation-backed Project 2025 propose anti-abortion measures, including blocking abortion pill access and limiting family planning funding.
