R.Signs of his week 100 days since President Donald Trump took office for a second term. At that time, Trump made several moves affecting abortion and access to reproductive health care throughout the country.
During his first month in officeTrump has quickly behaved a number of issues related to reproductive health. They have pardoned many anti -abortion demonstrators convicted of violating the Law of Freedom to reach the entrances to the clinic (face), a law that aims to protect abortion and patient clinics by preventing people from preventing or physically threatening patients. The US Department of Justice (doj) said it would reduce judicial prosecutions against persons accused of violating the face law. Ministry of Defense Eliminate Politics in the Biden era helped facilitate travel for active service personnel and their families to obtain some reproductive health care services, including abortion. Internationally, the freezing of the Trump administration on external aid has suspended reproductive health care services for millions of people. Trump also returned what is known as the name Mexico City Policy Or a global gag base, a policy often implemented by Republican presidents that prohibit foreign organizations that receive American assistance from providing or discussing abortion care.
Since February, the Trump administration has taken additional measures that have been limited or threatened to reach reproductive health care.
Here is what Trump did on reproductive health care in his first 100 days – and what reproductive rights advocates can happen after that.
The administration dropped a lawsuit during the Biden era seeking to protect access to abortion cases
In March, the Ministry of Justice made a proposal to reject A lawsuit she inherited from the Biden Administration. The original lawsuit was about a federal law known as the name The act of medical treatment in emergencies and work (EMTALA), which requires emergency rooms that receive Medicare dollars to install patients with medical emergencies before emptying or transferring them, whether the patient is able to pay or not. The Biden Administration has argued that nurturing abortion in emergency situations is required due to EMTAL, and that the prohibition of almost complete abortion in the state of Idahu is inconsistent with federal law. Idahu rejected this claim.
The Trump administration that dropped the lawsuit allowed his hands to impose a nearby abortion, even in medical emergencies. But the largest health care provider, the health system in Saint Locke, has filed his own lawsuit a few months ago in anticipation of the Trump administration that brought down the case, and the judge has temporarily prevented Edaho from carrying out his entire ban.
Abortion rights advocates condemned the Trump administration’s decision to drop the lawsuit. Amy Friedrich Karenik-Federal Policy Manager in Goette InstituteWhich is looking and supports sexual and reproductive health-the issue, at its heart, was about protecting people’s access to “life-saving care” in the most urgent situations.
The administration froze the address of the address x for 16 organizations
On April 1, the US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS) began Bead Address x Finance from 16 organizations. The title X was enacted in 1970, which is the only federal family planning program in the country. The program, which does not finance abortion services, is allocated More than 200 million dollars per year For clinics that provide birth control, cancer examination, STI test, and other health care services for people with low income families. HHS said it was blocking the money from the organizations in the title X “awaiting the evaluation of potential violations” of federal civil rights laws, and the president Executive order However, unconventional immigrants are prevented from obtaining most of the benefits funded by taxpayers. ” The National Association for Family and Reproductive Health (NFPRHA), an organic organization for family planning service providers and the American Civil Liberties Union prosecution Trump administration to freeze.
According to NFPRHA, freezing is to threaten About 65.8 million dollars of address X, which may affect more than 840,000 patients. Advocates of reproductive rights He said Freezing will prevent some of the most weak community members from accessing a set of health care services.
“When you follow the X address to access contraceptives, there is a ripples across all kinds of reproductive health care,” says Friedrich Carnick.
HHS mass demobilization operations
On March 27, HHS announced that it would work Reducing its employees From 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees-100,000 from workers’ demobilization and an additional 10,000 employees who have retired or resigned. These discounts were included in the “majority of employees” in the United States centers to control diseases and prevent the reproductive health department, according to the legal invitation group Reproductive Rights Center. A team at the Disease Control Center focused on collecting data on access to miscarriage – including the number of people who get abortions and the methods they choose – according to Ranoon Russell, Federal Policy Adviser to the Reproductive Rights Center.
“It is really making efforts to understand the effect of the prohibition of government abortion in the aftermath [Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization]andRussell said during a press conference.
Employees are working at the Disease Control Center Pregnancy risk assessment system (Children’s carts), which collected data on the health of the mother and infants, was Cut. The team is working on National Reproductive Technology Control SystemWhich provided patients with information about options such as laboratory fertilization (IVF), was also Excluded.
“This really hinders HHS’s efforts to ensure people get a healthy and necessary health care and that they know their options,” Russell said.
What experts expect can happen after that
Experts are waiting to find out the measures that the Trump administration will take MivorstonIt is a drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for miscarriage using more than two decades. Years of research Stabilize The drug is safe, but it is anti -miscarriage groups Try-yet In vain– To challenge the court, and during the confirmation session, Secretary HHS Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump said Express Interest in launching more research in MivePristone.
Russell said that the reproductive rights center is also expected to seek the administration of ancient warriors (VA) to reduce the care of abortion. In March, the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs for Review provided a temporary final base with regard to reproductive health services; The details of the rule have not been published, but the advocates of abortion rights Fearful The rule will re -prohibit the former abortion in the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs, and to cancel the policy of the Biden era, which allowed the medical VA to provide an abortion and care for abortion to the old warriors and beneficiaries in certain situations.
Friedrich Carnick says that the Trump administration can block the additional fund I did during the first Trump period. She adds that the Ministry of Justice may continue to take a position to combat abortion in various cases, such as refusing to try the demonstrators accused of violating the face law.
Trump’s actions on reproductive rights extracted support from anti -abortion activists. Margori Dennvilser, head of the abortion control group Susan B. said. Anthony in America, in a statement that Trump “put the pub to a pro -life president” in his first term, and praised the actions he took during the first hundred days of his second term. In March, Trump He said It will be known as “the head of fertilization” and New York Times I mentioned Last week, the White House evaluated ways to persuade women to have children. But Russell criticized the Trump administration to provide it with what he called “the incentives of the lottery style” to encourage people to have children without implementing policies to ensure that people have the support and resources they need to do so, while reducing access to reproductive health care.
“They have made pregnancy more dangerous, and they did nothing to make sure that people who want to grow or build their families are able to do this more and more reasonably,” Russell said.
