Project 2025’s Vision: A Return to the Era When Women Had No Voice.
Project 2025 aims to enforce the 1873 Comstock Act, banning the mailing of “abortion-producing materials”—essentially blocking access to medication abortion. This isn’t just about restricting abortion; it’s the first step toward rolling back women’s rights across the board.
By reviving this outdated law, Project 2025 threatens women’s autonomy, signaling a shift toward restricting women’s roles and reversing decades of progress in gender equality.
The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025’s agenda includes enforcing the 1873 (you read that right—1873) Comstock Act, which would prohibit mailing “abortion-producing materials,” effectively banning medication abortions. This move represents far more than just a restriction on abortion access; it’s a harbinger of a broader rollback on women’s rights.
If a law from the 19th century can be revived to control women’s bodies and choices, it signals the beginning of a wider push to limit women’s autonomy in all aspects of everyone's life. By resurrecting this outdated legislation, Project 2025 sets the stage for more regressive policies that could chip away at women’s hard-earned rights, from reproductive freedom to equal participation in society.
1873 Revisited: An Alarming Setback for Women’s Rights Under Project 2025
This is only the first step in a dangerous trajectory aiming to place women under increasingly restrictive, traditional roles, unraveling decades of progress in gender equality.
