Trump's Second Term Pushes Pro-Life Agenda

The landscape of abortion politics is shifting again as Donald Trump returns to the White House, leading to a renewed offensive from anti-abortion groups. Organizations like Students for Life of America are pushing for federal legislation to ban abortion pills and telehealth abortions, capitalizing on the Republican majority in Congress. While pro-lifers celebrate Trump's previous appointments of Supreme Court justices, concerns remain about his inconsistent stance on abortion, particularly regarding national bans. Meanwhile, Democrats overestimated the mobilizing power of abortion rights in the 2024 elections, as many voters split their tickets, supporting pro-choice measures at the state level while backing Trump for president. Trump's administration is expected to focus on defunding Planned Parenthood, marking a shift in the federal approach to abortion funding. Overall, the combination of Trump's leadership and a Republican Congress could lead to significant changes in abortion access across the United States.
