Question about project 2025

How will Project 2025 affect abortion rights?

Answer

The platform proposes to attack access to abortion care on a national level by overturning Roe v. Wade, but also restricting medication abortion nationwide by any means necessary. This will be accomplished by trying to use a long-dormant law to make medication abortion delivered through mail illegal, and by weaponizing the FDA, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the state governments to force access through a doctor in person. In doing so, the document notes, this would force people seeking access to abortion in states that are currently not restricting it, to become more dependent on local legislators for care. There is little room for interpretation: the plan shows an agenda of hostility against women, specifically Black women, that would make it harder, or nearly impossible, for them to get abortions.
