Reproductive Rights
In the wake of Dobbs, Americans’ access to reproductive healthcare is threatened, with House Republicans supporting a National Abortion Ban and some conservatives suggesting the death penalty is an appropriate penalty for abortion patients. Gen Z faces a daunting reproductive healthcare landscape – one foreign to the generations before us that lived under Roe. Project 2025 warns that the Dobbs decision was “only the beginning” (page 6).
According to Project 2025, an incoming conservative administration will:
- Affirm that abortion is not healthcare.
- Reverse approval of chemical abortion drugs
- Restrict access to abortion pills to just 49 days gestation
- Prohibit abortion travel funding
- Affirm that Congress should pass the Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act, which would accomplish the goal of defunding abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood
- Withdraw Medicaid funds for states that require abortion insurance
- Audit Hyde Amendment compliance
- Undo Obama contraceptive mandate and eliminate the week-after-pill from the contraceptive mandate as a potential abortifacient
