Trump’s wavering on abortion is a threat to women’s health globally

As the US midterm elections approach and the Republican Party faces serious losses, a strong ideological contest over abortion continues. Hardline anti-abortion activists want and expect more; Donald Trump and Republicans must navigate a delicate path as voters reject the status quo regarding reproductive rights, especially for women.

Trump, both as a presidential candidate and as president, has long walked a tortured line on abortion restrictions in an effort to appeal to his MAGA base of predominantly Christian conservatives.
