Trump Quietly Made 3 Chilling Moves Against Reproductive Freedom
www.democracydocket.com
Opinion | The moves are all steps toward achieving the Project 2025 goals of banning abortion and restricting access to birth control nationwide.

The first few weeks of Trump 2.0 has felt like all DOGE all the time: Elon Musk deployed his minions to as many agencies as possible, accessing data servers and trying to fire workers, while groups file lawsuits to try to stop them. There hadn’t been many meaningful changes on abortion and bodily autonomy thus far, until last week when the Trump administration took action in three different court cases. Unsurprisingly, none of it is good. All three moves are ripped from the Project 2025 playbook written for the first 100 days of a Republican president’s term, which Trump tried to disavow on the campaign trail.

    Articles that you have to read? Ugh they’re the worst

    They’re moving to join a lawsuit banning telemedicine visits for mifepristone

    They’re moving to participate in arguments alongside the Supreme Court about whether states can exclude planned parenthood from Medicaid, even if it doesn’t provide abortion

    They dismissed a lawsuit that the Biden DOJ filed against Idaho because idahos anti abortion law conflicts with laws that say emergency rooms that receive federal funding (which is most of them) need to provide stabilizing care, which can include abortions for pregnant women. As a result during the time idahos law was in effect several women had to be air lifted out of state because of the possibility they would need an abortion to stabilize them/save their lives

    There is more context for the final point and important context for the first two as well. Just read articles. The country is already stupid enough because we only read biased headlines (and maybe the first paragraph that gets posted to a link aggregator like this site or reddit) and fill in the blanks

      It appears the user was willing to read but couldn’t get past the website’s ad wall. Even if they could, however, it’s nice when folks like you are kind enough to offer a summary, time permitting. Thank you.
