Project 2025: what does the rightwing blueprint say about abortion?

Policy playbook developed for potential Trump 2.0 term aims to ban abortion pills, increase surveillance and champion fetal personhood

Project 2025, the wishlist for a Trump 2.0 administration drawn up by the influential thinktank the Heritage Foundation, proposes mobilizing an array of government agencies to curb access to abortion - up to and including a national ban on abortion pills that would affect even states that protect abortion rights.

Backed by more than 100 conservative organizations, the 922-page Project 2025 has become notorious in recent weeks as Kamala Harris has started bringing it up at rallies. Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from its many proposals, claiming he doesn't know anything about Project 2025 and has no idea who is behind it" - even though his administration's officials wrote chunks of it. While the director of the blueprint stepped down last week, a move that the Trump campaign celebrated and that leaves its future operations unclear, the policy ideas endure and closely align with Trump's platform.
