On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump said the power to make abortion policies “has been returned to the states.” In his first two weeks in office, he’s already gone further to restrict abortion than any president who’s held office since the 1973 “Roe v. Wade” decision, writes Julie Rovner.

As someone who is trying to have their first child through IVF, this stuff scares the shit out of me.
Anti-abortion prevents births! Women aren't going to want to risk getting pregnant if they don't have that safety net if things go wrong.
EDIT: I meant to say anti-abortion prevents births
- I got a vasectomy because of the anti abortion trend
  
  I got my fallopian tubes removed the last time he got elected. Really really grateful to my past self, because I do not have health insurance this time around.
  
  i got my entire uterus out 💀😂 i bet the statistics around this are interesting
- Yeah, not so sure it's a good idea to try and have a kid for at least the next four years.
  
  I know, but I have no choice. If we wait anymore we will be too old. Also testicular cancer gave me a low sperm count. Hence the IVF. And in 4 years I'm probably going to be shooting blanks.
  
  Oh absolutely, I'm not sure it's possible for us to wait four years. The question will be are kids worth the risks when you have a country making proper healthcare illegal.
- My wife and I are in the same boat. This will definitely lower the birth rate, which seems to be something these freaks care about a lot.
