Question about project 2025

does project 2025 ban abortion?

Answer

It would use the long-dormant Comstock Act, which was originally meant to ban contraceptives, to make mailing abortion medication illegal, and it would ask the FDA to remove its approval of medication abortion. The document also suggests the administration should undo the new ability for Medicare to negotiate prescription prices for seniors, further increasing access to and affordability of medication abortions, thus decreasing the quality of care. The plan suggests to force medication abortion recipients to obtain it in-person and have it prescribed by a physician, making it inaccessible for women, and increasing the chance of them choosing risky alternatives such as surgical abortions. Lastly, they might go even further by asking the EPA to reclassify the medication as containing “forever chemicals,” which will cause delays in production, distribution and thus limit access.
