Question about project 2025
How will restrict reproductive rights?
Answer
"Project 2025" intends to undermine access to safe and effective reproductive care, including medication abortion. It seeks to make obtaining a medication abortion through mail more difficult by enforcing the long-dormant Comstock Act to outlaw its mailing. The plan also includes an attempt to have the FDA revoke the approval of mifepristone, medication abortion, making it inaccessible. They plan to place unnecessary burdens on medication abortion, forcing a healthcare provider's presence for dispensing the pill. In an alarming tactic, they may push to classify medication abortion as having "forever chemicals" requiring extra scrutiny and potentially restricting its distribution and availability, making reproductive health care much harder for women. This is especially devastating as the platform is intended to enact its measures regardless of popular opinion, as it does not need approval from the legislative branch. "Project 2025" aims to limit reproductive healthcare access.
