ANTI-ABORTION ACTIVISTS once longed for(渴望) the circumstances of 2026. Republicans control the Senate, House and White House. The Supreme Court is controlled by conservative justices and has overturned Roe v Wade, which had enshrined(确立，珍藏) the right to abortion. Yet there are now more abortions in America than when Roe stood, as a rising number of women have abortions by pills received by post(通过邮寄收到的药片). Allowing women to choose an abortion, particularly early in a pregnancy, is consistently(一贯地) popular with voters.
反堕胎活动人士曾渴望2026年的局面。共和党控制着参议院、众议院和白宫。最高法院由保守派大法官掌控，并已推翻了曾确立堕胎权的罗诉韦德案。然而，如今美国的堕胎数量比罗案有效时还要多，因为越来越多的女性通过邮寄收到的药片进行堕胎。允许女性选择堕胎，尤其是在怀孕早期，一直受到选民的广泛支持。
For those defending the right to an abortion, this is an unexpected success. For those who want to end abortion, it is inspiring a new fight. Lawyers are seeking to block access to abortion pills by post. Some politicians want to criminalise(将…定为犯罪) the women who take them, breaking a long-standing taboo(长期存在的禁忌) for a movement once eager to win broad support. That it is now being meaningfully debated shows the depth of frustration with the status quo.(如今这一议题被认真讨论，表明人们对现状的沮丧之深。)
对于捍卫堕胎权的人来说，这是一个意想不到的成功。对于想要终结堕胎的人来说，这正在激发一场新的斗争。律师们正试图阻止通过邮寄获取堕胎药。一些政客希望将服用这些药物的女性定罪，打破了一个曾渴望赢得广泛支持的运动长期以来的禁忌。如今这一议题被认真讨论，表明人们对现状的沮丧之深。
Abortion pills are “the biggest front(战线，领域) for the pro-life community(反堕胎团体)”, says Erik Baptist of the Alliance Defending Freedom, a law firm which helped argue the case that overturned Roe. Approved in 2000, the pills are used to end a pregnancy within its first ten weeks. Their use climbed rapidly after rules for their administration at home were eased(放宽，缓解) during the covid pandemic.
堕胎药是“反堕胎团体最重要的战线”，捍卫自由联盟的埃里克·巴普蒂斯特说，该律师事务所曾协助辩护推翻罗案的案件。这些药片于2000年获批，用于在怀孕前十周内终止妊娠。在新冠疫情期间，居家用药规定放宽后，其使用量迅速攀升。
