Some critics fear Presidential-Elect Donald Trump will keep his promise to fill the Supreme Court's vacant seat with a Justice who will vote to repeal Roe. V. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion.
President Obama just signed an order that, in effect, prevents states from cutting funding to Planned Parenthood, and the question of many is whether a Trump Presidency could undo that as well.
Women across social media and in South Florida are coming forward with questions about how a Trump presidency could impact reproductive rights.
Some say they fear Trump's promises to do away with the Affordable Care Act could impact the cost of health services they rely on. Under Obamacare, there's no co-pay for birth control, and some women say the thought of that changing is scary.
"It's expensive," said West Palm Beach resident Shannon Cruz. "It's not a cheap thing to have birth control or anything like that, and abortions are extremely expensive."
At Planned Parenthood of Southeast and North Florida, spokeswoman Laura Goodhue says patients are calling with questions, wondering what might happen when Trump takes office.
"We just are reminding them again that we'll be here, we'll make sure that they have access to the care that they need no matter their zip code, their income or party lines for that matter," Goodhue said.
Goodhue says women will still be able to get affordable birth control at any Planned Parenthood location, but she admitted other comments by Trump have some women on edge.
"We saw some campaign promises from Donald Trump that he would actually punish women for having an abortion," Goodhue said. "There is uncertainty around that. Certainly the President can appoint justices to the Supreme Court. This is a constitutional right that obviously women and men hold dear."
