Trump Reinstates Anti-Abortion Policies, Signals Support for Pro-Life Movement

In his second term, President Trump rolls back Biden-era abortion protections and pardons activists convicted of clinic blockades.

President Donald Trump nullified two executive orders from Joe Biden that sought to protect nationwide access to abortion services, including abortion pills and interstate travel for the procedure.
The Trump administration reinstated the 'Mexico City Policy,' barring U.S. funding for organizations involved in abortion services abroad, and rejoined the Geneva Consensus Declaration opposing abortion rights globally.
Trump pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists, including those convicted of blocking clinic access, and directed the Justice Department to limit prosecutions under the FACE Act to extreme cases.
At the annual 'March for Life' rally in Washington, Vice President J.D. Vance and other Republican leaders praised the administration's actions as a step toward a 'pro-life America.'
Trump's policies follow the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which allowed states to individually legislate abortion, leading to near-total bans in many Republican-led states.
