In Chapter Fourteen of the Project 2025 Policy Agenda, covering the Department of Health and Human Services, the words addiction, birth control, and hunger do not appear; the word fentanyl appears once; the acronyms HIV and AIDS appear once each; and the word nutrition appears four times.
But the word gender appears twenty-two times, and the word abortion appears 143 times.
Among the anti-abortion strategies this project seeks to implement: the use of “every available tool, including the cutting of funds” to require each state to report “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.” The idea here is to counter what the document calls “abortion tourism.” And abortion is explicitly equated with “taking a human life.”
As for birth control family planning, this document addresses only “modern fertility awareness–based methods,” said to have “unsurpassed effectiveness.” (Planned Parenthood says they are “about 77–98% effective.”)

Because they've "softened" their stance on abortion, don't you know? And the press creates headlines to reflect that. Sheesh.
It seems that all at once people are picking up on what’s in this document. And the details — what’s there and what isn’t — are truly alarming.
I’m going to download these chapters while they’re still out in the open.
