Project 2025 Proposes Major Rollbacks on Birth Control and Healthcare Access

The conservative policy blueprint could end ACA's contraception coverage, affecting millions of women.

Overview

  • Project 2025, crafted by former Trump aides and The Heritage Foundation, suggests eliminating ACA-mandated birth control coverage.
  • The plan calls for ending no-cost emergency contraception, affecting an estimated 48 million women.
  • Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025 but has a history of reducing access to contraception and attempting to repeal the ACA.
  • Democrats are using the proposed healthcare changes to attack Trump, emphasizing the potential loss of reproductive rights and increased healthcare costs.
  • The plan also proposes renaming the Department of Health and Human Services to the 'Department of Life' and explicitly rejecting abortion as healthcare.
