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.

      Imagine if evangelicals sat home in the late 70s and 80s because the GOP wasn’t regressive enough for them yet.

      You’ve literally ceded all your political power and are too stupid to see it.

        I exercised my political power and refused to vote for the party of Dick Cheney, war, lies, and genocide
