Anti-Abortion Movement Faces Internal Divide, Setbacks

Donald Trump asserts that if re-elected, women will no longer be concerned about abortion, as he plans to leave the issue to the states, claiming his administration will improve women's overall well-being. This statement has garnered criticism from opponents like Kamala Harris, who argue that Trump is attempting to control women's thoughts and dismiss their concerns about reproductive rights. Meanwhile, a new poll indicates that 59% of Iowans disapprove of recent abortion restrictions, highlighting negative impacts on healthcare and professional choices for medical practitioners. The anti-abortion movement, once buoyed by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, is now facing internal divisions and setbacks, as they struggle to win support for restrictive measures in various states. Activists express worries about a potential backlash, highlighted by recent defeats in abortion-related ballot measures across several states, including Kansas and Kentucky. Leaders maintain a commitment to educating the public on the implications of these measures despite setbacks.
