A centerpiece of Project 2025 is restraints on Reproductive Care, which impacts every aspect of Women’s Healthcare. 

Starting on page 5, Project 2025 calls on Conservatives to celebrate the Dobbs decision as “the greatest pro-family win in a generation: overturning Roe v. Wade,” a decision that in their words, “facilitated the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children.”

The plan: Access to abortion will be denied at the national level through Congressional legislation and will be restricted in every program possible—from emergency medical treatment to foreign aid to healthcare in the military.

The promise: “The Dobbs decision is just the beginning.”

Project 2025 compels the next conservative President to work with Congress to enact more robust protections for the unborn with assaults on birth control and IVF treatment.

Women across the country are already suffering under MAGA Republicans’ barbaric laws that are stripping them of their rights, restricting access to the health care they desperately need, and putting their lives at risk.

“I live in Connecticut, so I’m safe.” Not so fast. Knowing how unpopular these ideas are, Donald Trump is attempting to distance himself from this agenda. For the moment. 

P2025 gives the President the power of a king, with the “President’s desires” at the forefront.

Make no mistake, with a sweep of the pen the right to an abortion could be banned nationally.

“I’m not of childbearing age, so how does that affect me?” Women’s health goes beyond reproductive health. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the field of obstetrics-gynecology was already experiencing worrisome shortages before the Dobbs decision.  An estimated 2.2 million U.S. women live in “OB-GYN deserts,” where there’s a lack of maternity care resources, no hospitals or birth centers offering obstetric care, and no obstetric providers; 4.7 million Americans live in areas with limited access.

Physicians without adequate abortion training may not be able to manage miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, or potential complications such as infection or hemorrhaging that could stem from pregnancy loss.

There will be fewer doctors providing routine women’s healthcare, like administering mammograms, pap smears, reliable birth control, pelvic exams and treating vaginal infections, infertility, menopause, and ovarian masses. With fewer specialists nationally, who will treat conditions like endometriosis or perform needed hysterectomies?

These threats are real. The plan is to enact many of them in the first 180 days of a new Trump-Vance administration.
