Abortion-rights advocates protest probe of NJ insurance mandate for abortion
Katie O’Connor, senior director of federal abortion policy at the National Women’s Law Center, cited Trump’s frequent promises during his 2024 campaign to leave abortion policy to the states.
“Just over one year into his second term, it’s clear that that was a lie,” O’Connor said.
She offered a long list of ways Trump and his administration have restricted abortion access, including pardoning 23 abortion critics who blockaded abortion clinics, limiting enforcement of a federal law meant to protect abortion patients and providers, cutting abortion care for veterans, ordering a review of abortion medication and trying to restrict its access, and cutting funding for Planned Parenthood.
