Abortion-rights advocates celebrate Question 1 win, now worry about a federal abortion ban

Abortion-rights activists celebrated the overwhelming approval Tuesday of a ballot measure that adds reproductive rights to the state constitution, but woke up Wednesday to President-elect Donald Trump and fears that a Republican-controlled Congress could undermine Tuesday’s win. Even though Trump backed away from previous anti-abortion positions during this campaign, reproductive-freedom activists fear that abortion protections under the state’s new constitutional amendment would be undermined by a federal abortion ban, if one is enacted, and are working out next steps to take.
