It’s a dilemma for Donald Trump: Two years after the Supreme Court overturned federal protection of abortion rights, Joe Biden is putting the issue at the center of his election campaign. But how much does it concern voters?
The ruling sent shockwaves. Since the Supreme Court overturned the fundamental right to abortion in the USA on June 24, 2022, access to abortion has become drastically more difficult. 21 states have almost completely banned abortion. Last year, more than 171,000 women had to leave their home state for an abortion – twice as many as in 2019. The right to abortion has become a political issue.
