In a centuries-long debate about gender and sexuality, 2020 could mark a turning point for abortion rights in the US.

In the coming year, the anti-abortion president, Donald Trump, faces re-election, and a conservative supreme court will take up its first abortion case, with potentially far-reaching consequences for a woman's right to choose in America.

Supporters and activists on both sides of the divide - pro-choice and anti-abortion - are braced for a titanic fight that could change the face of abortion access in the States.

"I don't think there's any doubt that the big issue this year is going to be the election in November," said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, an anti-abortion organization.

For activists like herself, "the worst fear would be absolutely everything goes against us in the election, and we have a pro-abortion president and Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi in charge of the House and the Senate," said Tobias. "They could do some serious, long-lasting damage, but I really, really, really do not believe that is going to happen."

Meanwhile David Cohen, a pro-choice Drexel University law professor and co-author of Obstacle Course: The Everyday Struggle to Get an Abortion in America, described the coming election as "an all-consuming news item this year". He said: "We have two parties with starkly different views on abortion, so that is going to be a major issue in the presidential campaign."

'An unprecedented wave of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws'

This week marks the 47th anniversary of the landmark US supreme court case Roe v Wade, which legalized abortion in the US and has been a target for conservatives since the religious right adopted abortion as a cause in the late 1970s.

Hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion protesters will also gather in Washington DC on 24 January for the March for Life, the nation's largest anti-abortion protest. And the evidence of recent years shows they are successfully rolling back access to abortion across the US.

Last year saw an unprecedented wave of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in decades, many blatantly unconstitutional. In 2019, so-called " heartbeat bills", which ban abortion at six weeks, before most women know they are pregnant, became law in Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio and Mississippi. Alabama banned abortion outright.

In one case, an extreme bill proposed in Ohio would have charged doctors with "abortion murder" if they did not attempt to "re-implant" an ectopic pregnancy. There is no such procedure in medical science, and ectopic pregnancies that form in the fallopian tubes are never viable. They do, however, threaten women's lives.

None of these laws are in effect, as they directly contravene law set out in Roe v Wade. This is by design. Emboldened by Trump and funded by conservative Republican mega-donors, abortion opponents hope they can push the right-leaning supreme court to take up a case and overturn Roe, even though most of the public agrees abortion should remain legal.

"The main takeaway is that the states will continue to be important players on abortion laws and regulation,"said Elizabeth Nash, state issues manager at the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute.

Clinics are shuttering in large numbers in the south and midwest

There will be an intense focus on the supreme court this spring, as it hears oral arguments in June Medical Services LLC v Gee. The case from Louisiana focuses on whether doctors should be required to obtain the right to admit patients to local hospitals and will have national implications.

The right to admit patients to hospitals, called "admitting privileges", is meant to sound like it improves women's health. In fact, hospitals are already required to take all cases which come through the emergency department. Instead, admitting privileges often serve as an insurmountable hurdle for doctors who practice independently at abortion clinics, in effect closing their practices.

If it is ruled constitutional, the regulation could shut down two of Louisiana's three abortion clinics, despite providing no measurable health benefits for women. Legal scholars were shocked the country's highest court was even hearing the case. It ruled on an identical law from Texas in 2016, finding the measures unconstitutional and an undue burden to women seeking abortions.

"The breadth of the outcomes is really wide," said Cohen. The case could result in "everything from 'you can regulate a little more' to 'you can outlaw abortion'. So there's a lot we don't know about what's coming in the future."

But if the case in the supreme court could decide the legal fate of abortion rights, a woman's ability to exercise her right is already in dire straits. Between 2011 and 2017, 4% of abortion clinics closed across the US. This modest change obscures a broader truth - clinics are shuttering in large numbers in the south and midwest and opening on the coasts, leading to expensive logistical nightmares for many women.

Abortion is now central to America's culture wars, one of a number of divisive issues shaped by a hyper-partisan political divide. Trump has played a key role in widening the gulf - and attempting to exploit it for electoral gain.

"Virtually every top Democrat also now supports late-term abortion, ripping babies straight from the mother's womb right up until the moment of birth," Trump told a booing audience at a recent rally in Toledo, Ohio. That statement is false - but emblematic.

Abortion is a repeat topic as Trump campaigns for re-election at rallies, where his rhetoric often goes beyond what even the anti-abortion movement could have hoped for from past Republican candidates.

Tobias and other anti-abortion activists have worked diligently to spread news of Trump's "amazing work" to the broader electorate. She mentioned a list of his administration'sachievements thatthe movement holds in esteem, including remaking the federal bench with ideological judges and preventing foreign aid from being used to advise women on abortions.

"I'm expecting more pro-life laws to be passed, and there will of course be more challenges in the court, but we're moving forward," said Tobias.

That was not always the case. The Christian right only took up the mantle of abortion after Roe was decided and after the supreme court ruled against the segregationist policies of private Christian schools, many of which were founded to exclude African American students.

Southern Baptists even supported abortion rights at their annual conference until 1976. Until Roe, abortion was seen mostly as an issue for the Catholic church, and it was predominantly Democratic states that opposed access to abortion and contraceptives.

Now, most Americans - nearly 80%, according to Gallup polling - support legal abortion in at least some circumstances. However, abortion has historically been a motivating issue for conservative voters, less so for liberals. That has led to a virulent anti-abortion right, while the left has only begun to enshrine abortion rights in state law.

Loretta Ross is a reproductive justice activist and expert who has worked not just for abortion rights but against pregnancy discrimination and maternal mortality. "We just have to keep on fighting the same way black people have to keep on fighting for voting rights for 400 years," she said.

Some older feminists in particular fear abortion rights, which younger women have grown up with, have been taken for granted since Roe v Wade. Doctors such as Mary Jane Minkin, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale School of Medicine, worry about a return to illegal and deadly procedures.

"Unfortunately, the young women today don't realize how bad it was," said Minkin. When she was attending Brown University in 1968, "I knew of a young woman a couple years before me, she got pregnant during freshman week.

"She was subsequently infertile ... had an illegal abortion done, and couldn't get pregnant thereafter," said Minkin. There were, of course, even worse outcomes. One of Minkin's mother's friends had a sister, a flight attendant, who died from an illegal abortion.

"There were very dark times with people dying having septic abortions and people being infertile for the rest of their lives," said Minkin. "We don't want to go back to that. We really don't want to go back to that."

On Monday, after vowing violent state action against protestors across the US, Donald Trump took time out for a photo opportunity. Did he talk to people of colour, heartbroken, enraged and exhausted by police brutality and the killing of George Floyd by officers of the state? Did he listen to the black mothers terrified that the next time they see their son leave the house will be the last time?

No.

Police launched smoke grenades and shot rubber bullets at protestors to pave the way for Trump's publicity stunt outside the St John's Episcopal church.

Sharing the full story, not just the headlines

The president posed in front of the church, brandishing a Bible - invoking its legacy as the sacred text of slave owners and colonisers.

Biblical scholars, even working from different perspectives on faith, can agree that such use of sacred text is reprehensible.

Despite Trump's outspoken views on biblical literacy, it's apparent that he hasn't read much, if any, of his "favourite book".

When asked in an interview with Bloomberg about his favourite biblical passages, he responded "The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics."

Then again, the president doesn't need to get into specifics. Not when he's using the Christian sacred text as visual shorthand for the justification of white structural violence.

Some Christian leaders, including the Right Rev Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, and James Martin, a Jesuit priest and consultant to the Vatican's communications department, have condemned Trump's photo opp. On Twitter, Martin declared "the Bible is not a prop ... religion is not a political tool".

The sentiment is understandable but the statement is less convincing.

The Bible has been used as a prop to scaffold racism for centuries, from the Ku Klux Klan, to the Nazis, to apartheid. Whether we like it or not, some of the most abhorrent ideologies have been legitimised using Biblical texts. The weaponisation of the Christian sacred text against people of colour is so integral to our colonial history that the gasps of shock ringing out on social media seem disingenuous. For Trump's purposes, the Bible signifies white Christian supremacy - and there's an audience for it, no matter how many white people Tweet their dismay at the killing of George Floyd or use the Black Lives Matter hashtag.

The use of the sacred to support centralised power is as old as monarchy itself. For example, the black Christian biblical scholar Willie Jennings has recently explored the toxic interaction between the Bible and the colonial project in his ground-breaking work The Christian Imagination.

It is the shame of the Church that we have far too often been silent, complicit, or actively collaborated with such uses. This calls for public repentance.

It is hard to know what Trump was attempting by his stunt. In fact, if Trump knew much at all about the Bible he was waving, he might not be so keen to invoke its authority. It contains many examples of the sharp rebuke of abusive leadership and it has many strongly-worded criticisms of those who perpetrate social injustice of every type.

He has picked up a brand that will burn him.

The Bible is a public book, and everyone is entitled to interpret it for themselves. I suspect that biblical scholars interpret it quite differently. But neither of us would seek to shut down the other. Control of the interpretation of the sacred text is yet another way in which power has been wielded to great harm.

But the interpretation of a text as powerfully resonant in both cultural and religious terms as the Bible must be exercised with caution, with integrity, and with an enormous sense of responsibility. For readers both with and without faith, responsible interpretation requires a commitment to interpret it for the benefit of human welfare. We all must resist interpretations that lead to, promote, or endorse violence and injustice.

A bill seeking to ban demonstrations outside abortion clinics will be introduced by Labour MP Rupa Huq later.

Last year, pro-life protesters lost a legal challenge against the UK's first buffer zone implemented around a clinic in Dr Huq's constituency.

Ealing Council said a 100-metre exclusion zone at the Marie Stopes centre had been put in place after women complained of being intimidated.

The protesters said they were providing help to those visiting the clinic.

Dr Huq says: "This bill would have them moved away from clinic gates of all abortion facilities so they can stop the emotional blackmail of calling women approaching 'mum', lining the pavement with gruesome foetus dolls and images and filming women to shame them."

Although Ealing Council has managed to legally remove anti-abortion protesters Dr Huq says this is "only temporary" and will need reviewing next spring.

She also says the process is "too hard, expensive, and the evidence burden is too high to expect councils to pick this up themselves".

"This is a national problem... that requires a national solution," she says.

Alina Dulgheriu who brought the legal challenge against Ealing Council, has said the ban "criminalises speech, assembly, charitable support and prayer".

"My little girl is here today because of the real practical and emotional support that I was given by a group outside a Marie Stopes centre, and I am going to appeal this decision to ensure that women do not have this vital support option removed," she has said.

"I cannot imagine a society where a simple offer of help to a woman who might want to keep her child is seen as a criminal offence."

Dr Huq will introduce her bill to the House of Commons at around 12:30 BST; however, without government support the legislation is very unlikely to become law.

Six couples are taking a landmark challenge to the High Court next week in a bid to get legal recognition for humanist weddings in England and Wales.

Currently, humanist ceremonies are not recognised in law, so couples must also have a civil ceremony.

Lawyers for the six couples say the current law discriminates against them because of their humanist beliefs.

In Scotland and Northern Ireland, the law is different and humanist ceremonies are legally recognised.

Humanist weddings are non-religious ceremonies which are conducted by a humanist celebrant.

Currently in England and Wales, non-religious weddings are only legal if they are carried out by a registrar.

But humanist weddings became legal in Scotland in 2005 and in Northern Ireland in 2018, and since then the number of couples opting for such weddings in both nations has soared.

The legal challenge to ask the UK government to change the law was lodged at the High Court last November, and will be heard on 7 and 8 July.

It is being supported by the charity Humanists UK, which has campaigned on the issue for decades.

The organisation says a change in law could help deal with "the huge backlog" of demand for marriage services due to the pandemic.

"Couples who have humanist weddings see that day as the epitome of their love and commitment to each other, and all they want is the same legal recognition for that as is given to every religious person in our country," said the head of Humanists UK, Andrew Copson.

"We have tried for decades to address this glaring double standard. Government has dragged its heels and that's why it's been left to these couples to bring this case."

The Ministry of Justice said it wants to "give couples more choice in how they celebrate their commitment to each other" and has asked for a review from the Law Commission to make recommendations "for a simple, fair and consistent system for all".

The couples

"We believe that the act of getting married is profoundly personal and having a humanist ceremony is central to our identities as humanists," said Kate Harrison and Christopher Sanderson from Lincolnshire.

The retired couple have been together for 14 years and are in their sixties, and say they will not get married until humanist marriages are recognised.

"It is highly discriminatory that if you have a religion you can get married in a way of your choosing which is compatible with your beliefs, but if you are non-religious, the state has a complete monopoly over how you get married," they said.

Meanwhile, Jennifer McCalmont and Finbar Graham from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland, said: "We come from two separate religious backgrounds which neither of us practises and so we didn't want to be hypocritical in having a religious ceremony."

"Living in Northern Ireland we could simply have a legally recognised humanist marriage here but Northam Beach in Devon is special to us as it was the first place we holidayed together.

"Not being able to have the ceremony we want will undoubtedly undermine the significance of the day and devalue our beliefs. The current law discriminates against us as humanists."

Meanwhile, Victoria Hosegood and Charli Janeway from Kent have postponed their wedding until next year due to the coronavirus pandemic but intend to have a humanist ceremony.

"Marriage laws need to reflect the make-up of modern-day society, including the growing numbers of humanists, which is why we think this case is so important," they said.

Ciaran Moynagh, a solicitor representing some of the claimants, suggested "momentum is on our side" following the law change in Northern Ireland in 2018.

Tory MP Crispin Blunt, who chairs the all-party Parliamentary Humanist Group, said it was "understandable" that the six couples had "given up waiting" and chosen the legal route.

"The government has been considering bringing about legal recognition of humanist marriages for some seven years now, over three different reviews."

Labour's faith and belief spokeswoman, shadow minister Janet Daby, said: "It's time for the government to recognise the thousands of humanists across the country who are simply asking for a legally recognised wedding that is reflective of their beliefs and values."

Humanists UK say more than 1,000 couples a year already have a humanist ceremony and then must have a separate civil marriage - usually at a registrar's office - for it to be legally recognised.
