As evidenced by the friendly fire faced by former President Donald Trump for embracing the pro-life position of federalism supported by the entire movement prior to 2022, the anti-abortion movement is an intentionally vast group of varying, and often conflicting, factions.

On the one hand, you have disproportionately purple state pragmatists and reformers who focus on state bans criminalizing the most egregious cases of partial-birth abortions in the second trimester, which are also banned in most of Europe, and demand-oriented deregulation, such as the bipartisan push to grant more oral contraceptives over-the-counter status nationwide. On the other hand, you have abolitionists, who have not just called for national abortion restrictions or bans, but also walking back fertility technologies such as in vitro fertilization.
