Abortion Rights and President Trump
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro claimed that President Trump took away women's freedom to choose abortion, but Trump did not directly change anything on abortion. He appointed conservative justices to the Supreme Court who were likely to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Court threw out Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, leaving the issue to the states to decide. Shapiro's claim was inaccurate.
