New in PN: The Trump admin's quiet (but deadly) attack on repro rights
"For the last few months, the Trump administration has been occupied with tearing the govt down to the studs. That’s really the only reason the predictable spate of attacks on abortion didn’t start in earnest until recently."
The Trump admin's quiet (but deadly) attack on repro rights
They're doctoring science and changing policy to make pregnancy more dangerous.

For the first few months of 2025, the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress were pretty thoroughly occupied with tearing the federal government down to the studs and selling the pieces for scrap. That’s really the only reason that the predictable spate of attacks on abortion didn’t start in earnest until a few weeks ago.
But now, with a majority in both houses of Congress, an extremely pliable right-wing majority on the Supreme Court, and a shattered administrative state, conservatives are targeting abortion at the national level. Guess we’ve given up on that whole “we don’t want to ban abortion, we just want to return it to the states” thing that anti-choicers pretended at for so long.
