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.

“HHS also pushes abortion as a form of “health care,” skirting and sometimes blatantly defying the Hyde Amendment in the process.”
Citation: Project 2024, Section 3: The General Welfare, page 316, paragraph 4
Context:

This is another blatant lie. First of all, abortion is part of reproductive health care, because it’s a medical procedure sometimes necessary to protect a woman’s health or life. Labeling abortion as health care is a widespread practice in the medical community, not specific to HHS or political advocacy.

The HHS is tasked with ensuring that people have access to a wide range of medical services, including reproductive health care. Abortion access, when legal, is well within their purview.

The Hyde Amendment, as a refresher, was passed in 1976 and prohibits using federal funds for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the woman’s life is in danger. It applies specifically to federal funding programs like Medicaid. The HHS is bound by law to comply with the Hyde Amendment, and there is ZERO evidence suggesting that it “blatantly defies” it. In fact, federal funding for abortion services is still restricted under Medicaid, except under the aforementioned exceptions. If the HHS were to fund abortions in violation of the Hyde Amendment, there would be legal repercussions. Note that the author fails to give a single verified instance of this occurring.
