Project 2025 calls for surveilling pregnancies and tracking miscarriage and abortion data, which could be used to prosecute women for seeking care.
What Project 2025 Calls for:
Policing Pregnancies: Project 2025 states that the the Department of Health and Human Services “should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method.” page 455

Elimination of States’ Rights: Project 2025’s proposed federal mandate directly conflicts with states’ strong protections for patient privacy. Under Project 2025, the federal government would try to force states to share private healthcare data that could be used to target patients needing an abortion procedure, including those suffering a miscarriage, or even to criminally punish out-of-state patients who come to the state for help.
Project 2025 Will Hurt Families
Allow States to Block Miscarriage Medication: Project 2025 calls for using the outdated Comstock Act of 1873 to ban life-saving miscarriage and emergency abortion medications. The President can do this without having to pass any new legislation. Without access to miscarriage medications, many women suffering miscarriages will be at risk of dying or infertility. page 459
Stopping the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from Approving Life-Saving Medications: Project 2025 calls for blocking the FDA’s approval for miscarriage and abortion medications. Per Project 2025“The FDA is statutorily charged with guaranteeing the safety and efficacy of drugs and therefore should withdraw this drug that is proven to be dangerous to women and by definition fatally unsafe for unborn children.” page 458
Adopt the Same Legal Standard of Life that Alabama’s Supreme Court Used to Outlaw IVF: A Project 2025 government would challenge our Supreme Court to designate fetuses as full people “from conception to natural death.” In Alabama, this stopped families from having children with the help of IVF. page 489.
Project 2025 Is Already Here
GEORGIA: A state law that mostly bans abortion after six weeks is responsible for multiple deaths.
TEXAS: Sued to stop a rule that shields the medical records of women who seek abortions elsewhere.
IDAHO: If a provider is prosecuted under Idaho’s abortion law, they face 2-5 years in prison and could have their medical license suspended or revoked. OBGYNs are fleeing the state as a result.
FLORIDA: The Florida High School Athletic Association proposed tracking girls’ menstrual cycles.
SOUTH CAROLINA: A 22 year-old college student was charged with “homicide by child abuse” after suffering a miscarriage.
Project 2025’s America would violate individuals’ privacy. But worst of all, it would endanger the lives of mothers and permanently scar hundreds of thousands of American families who’ve already faced the unthinkable.
