Did you know that Donald Trump's recent executive order on gender has some people worried? The order defines "female" and "male" based on what happens at conception. This might sound simple, but it's actually a big deal. Some people think this could be a sneaky way to start treating fetuses as full-fledged people with legal rights. If this happened, it could make abortion illegal across the country and even treat people who have abortions as murderers.

Trump's order doesn't actually change any laws yet, but it could be the start of something bigger. The Republican party has been pushing the idea of "fetal personhood" for a while now. They want the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment protects fetuses from the moment of conception. This is the same amendment that gives people birthright citizenship, which Trump is also trying to change.

Abortion rights supporters are concerned because they think Trump's order could be a first step towards making abortion illegal. They're worried about what could happen next. Some experts think Trump might just be trying to please anti-abortion groups without really changing anything. But others think this could be the beginning of a bigger fight over abortion and other issues related to pregnancy.

In the days before Trump took office, people who support abortion rights were nervous. They thought Trump might try to make it harder to get abortions. So far, his administration has taken down a website that helped people find information about abortion pills. But Trump hasn't done anything big yet. People are still watching and waiting to see what happens next.
