Trump appointed the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade , the constitutional protection for abortion that had stood for 50 years , in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization .

The 2022 ruling set in motion a slew of sweeping abortion restrictions or outright bans at the state level.

The 2024 Republican platform states that it opposes late-term abortion, ignoring the fact that the vast majority of abortions are performed early in pregnancy.

Under Trump , the Republican -controlled Congress eliminated the individual mandate for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act .

The rollback of abortion rights under Trump is also threatening people’s ability to grow their family using in vitro fertilization (IVF) The Alabama Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that embryos created using IVF are considered children.
