What’s next for abortion access in Florida
Experts say a Trump administration could further limit abortion access in a way that could affect Floridians.
On Thursday, Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, said her organization will work to make it clear to the Trump Administration that Americans expect adherence to his campaign promise. Trump has said that he wouldn’t sign a federal abortion ban and that states should decide their own policies.
Graves said she is concerned about efforts detailed in the Republican’s Project 2025 to restrict access to abortion pills, especially when they are administered through telehealth or delivered by mail.
Graves said she is concerned about efforts detailed in the Republican’s Project 2025 to restrict access to abortion pills, especially when they are administered through telehealth or delivered by mail. However, she believes Americans will push back. “There are countless ways to restrict and upend abortion access further in this country. We think the evidence of what happened at the ballot this year, the fact that most ballot measures were so successful, so popular across parties, demonstrates that we have a base to build on to secure reproductive freedom.”
Graves said Florida women also need to know that her organization has a legal defense fund for anyone who needs legal help securing abortion access.
“There are organizations like mine who use the law, who use advocacy, who galvanize people and remind them of their own power because our current system of government actually is a democracy,” she said.
