The Threat of Project 2025 on Abortion

Under a second Donald Trump presidency, The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025would provide a blueprint for carrying out extreme policies. But in many parts of the country, these restrictive policies are already in effect and Project 2025would simply expand these threats to multiple facets of American life. In this first episode of How to Win’s series, “The Threat of Project 2025,”Ali Velshi unpacks the alarming agenda for reproductive rights, including the criminalization of mailing abortion pills and eliminating the Department of Health and Human Services. Ali speaks with Amanda Zurawski, who nearly lost her life when she was denied an emergency abortion in Texas, and Georgetown law professor Dr. Michele Goodwin highlights the history of policing women’s reproductive rights, underscoring the broader threat to American democracy.
