Journalist Neha Wadekar worked with PBS NewsHour to produce a six- to eight-minute TV report from Kenya on how abortion and reproductive care there could be affected if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidency again. The piece explores how women seek dangerous abortions due to barriers that include Kenya's own restrictive abortion laws that allow only for narrow exceptions — an interpretation that's in legal dispute.
During Trump's 2017-2021 presidency, the ability to seek reproductive care outside the U.S. became harder because Trump revived and imposed GOP-backed anti-abortion conditions on health aid to countries.
This project explores the impact of U.S. evangelical anti-abortion influence in Kenya.
