BARUCH COLLEGE–The 4B movement, a South Korean feminist initiative, has attracted significant attention from American women after Donald Trump, whose past administration led to the repeal of federal abortion laws, won the 2024 presidential election.
The increased support for the movement was triggered by Trump’s previous decision to appoint Supreme Court judges who ultimately overturned Roe V. Wade in 2022.
Roe v. Wade prohibited individual states from banning abortions in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.
By overturning the landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court eliminated federal protections for female reproductive autonomy.
