“I believe he’ll be a pro-life president in the future also.”Many senior Trump administration alumni and allies are now mapping out and drafting policy options for a second Trump term. A second Trump term would also put back in place and expand restrictions on Title X grants – federal funds for public and nonprofit groups that provide family planning. Resurrecting these actions in a second Trump would almost entirely be up to the discretion of whomever he appoints to lead the relevant federal agencies. With Roe v. Wade’s protections erased, anti-abortion activists would like a second Trump administration to push harder than it did before – especially in restricting access to mifepristone. Abortion rights advocates worry he could play an outsize role shaping abortion restrictions in a potential second Trump administration.

Lower court judges are bound by Supreme Court precedent, but they have some tools at their disposal. They can also give the historically permissive “rational basis” standard of review from the Dobbs opinion some teeth by more closely assessing abortion restrictions and the state’s purported rationales. Lawyers will need to bring cases raising novel issues so that judges can protect abortion rights in new ways. Even if cases and briefs in federal courts lose in the short term, having abortion cases in the pipeline is essential. The Supreme Court will not always look as it does today.

☆ In Abortion Pill Ruling, the Supreme Court Trades Ambition for Prudence
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-22 | by ( Adam Liptak | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

WASHINGTON — It was an interim ruling, and the majority gave no reasons. But the Supreme Court’s order on Friday night maintaining the availability of a commonly used abortion pill nonetheless sent a powerful message from a chastened court. Ten months ago, five conservative justices overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating a constitutional right to abortion that had been in place for half a century. All three of the Trump justices were in the majority. Cynics might be forgiven for thinking that the decision last June, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, was a product of raw power.
