Info on access etc.
Website on abortion rights in the USA offline
A few hours after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, a website on abortion is no longer accessible. The platform was launched under Democrat Joe Biden after the US Supreme Court overturned the nationwide abortion law in June 2022.
Among other things, it provided information on the legal situation and access to abortion in the country, but also on contraceptives and the protection of sensitive health data. Anyone visiting reproductiverights.gov only saw an error message on Monday evening (local time).
The dispute over abortion rights has been one of the central conflicts in the USA for years and was an important issue in the election campaign. Democrats have already warned of massive further restrictions under a Republican-led government.
During his first term in office, Trump appointed several conservative judges to the Supreme Court, shifting the ideological majority to the right. Since the 2022 ruling that overturned the nationwide law, the individual US states can decide for themselves whether abortions are legal or prohibited.
Trump himself has been rather cautious so far. Surveys in the USA show that the majority of respondents support a limited right to abortion.
