The Washington Post has published an article highlighting four ways the President of the United States and his administration can affect abortion in America. They are:

  1. Through Medicaid Regulations;
  2. The Mexico City Policy, an executive order that prevents federal funds from being used for abortions in other countries, which President Obama overturned in 2009;
  3. Signing or vetoing federal laws related to abortion; and
  4. Through U.S. Supreme Court Justice appointments.
