But more than two years after the undoing of Roe v. Wade, the push to demonize abortion — which involves reviving old talking points about banning “late-term abortion” and “abortion after birth” — may no longer be landing. “We’re seeing a shift in people not wanting restrictions on abortion at all, including later abortion, and that is brand new,” said Tresa Undem, a public opinion researcher and partner and co-founder at the firm PerryUndem. While publicly, Trump has disavowed a national ban, he’s been far less clear about what approach he would take to medication abortion. Vance has endorsed enforcing a different law, a dormant 1800s anti-obscenity law known as the Comstock Act, to outlaw the mailing of abortion medication. “The one thing I feel confident he will go after is medication abortion through the FDA,” Donley said.
