America's War on Abortion is a 2020 documentary film by Deeyah Khan. The film is produced by Khan's production company Fuuse and received its world premiere on ITV^[1] and NRK2 on October 29, 2020.^[2]

Filmed before and during the 2020 global crisis, Khan turns her focus to what she see as extreme beliefs weaponised under Trump’s rule.^[3] In America's War on Abortion, she examines the erosion of reproductive rights in the US, featuring accounts from activists fighting for – and against – women’s right to choose.

Khan investigates one of the most divisive issues in American politics. She films at abortion clinics and meets the abortion providers and the women who seek abortions.^[4] The film also features a man convicted of bombing and burning clinics. In his time in office, Donald Trump has wooed evangelical Christian voters by enacting anti-abortion policies including bringing conservative judges on the Supreme Court. Deeyah Khan goes on the front line to find the people who will be most affected by the abortion wars.^{[citation needed]}
