A Second Trump Term Could Lead to a ‘Backdoor Federal Abortion Ban’

In this audio essay, she argues that while the former president may seem indifferent on the campaign trail to tightening abortion laws, there is a real possibility that if re-elected he will seek to appease his base by using his executive power to ban abortions nationwide.
