What Does Project 2025 Say?

Share this page:

On November 5, 2024, the United States Elected Donald J. Trump to a second term. The day after that, his allies gleefully admitted that Project 2025 was their – and his – agenda the entire time.

This is what we’re up against.

“Prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds.”
Citation: Project 2025, Section 3.5: Department of Health and Human Services, Roger Severino, page 503, paragraph 4
Context:

This isn’t going to result in fewer abortions, it’s just a way to punish the poor. The Hyde Amendment already dictates that no federal funds go towards abortions. So do you know what Planned Parenthood uses that funding for? Cancer screenings. STD and STI tests and treatment. Breast exams. Offering sex education, contraceptives, and birth control options. HIV tests. Pregnancy tests and planning. Prenatal and Postpartum services. Vaccines. Wellness and preventative care.

They provide all of these services affordably to low-income families. Abortions comprise about 3% of the services they provide to patients. [Source] This proposal would result in a cut of 40% of their funding. By contrast, about 45% of services provided in FY14-15 at Planned Parenthood clinics were for sexually transmitted infection tests, and 31% were for contraceptive services.

All this proposal would result in is more low-income people with sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.
