The anti-abortion playbook Donald Trump will have on Day 1

Faith, as you read this, anti-abortion political groups are drafting a plan to rescind abortion rights in every way possible — and they'll hand that plan to President Trump on Day 1 of his presidency.

New POLITICO reporting has detailed how these groups advise leveraging new rules at agencies like the FTC, FDA, and EPA, as well as using executive orders to slash abortion access nationwide — without needing to receive Congressional approval.

They're calling it the Heritage Foundation's 2025 Presidential Transition Project. It's almost 1,000 pages long, and its authors include members of the first Trump administration, Students for Life, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America and other anti-abortion organizations. They're also collecting resumes from conservative activists who are interested in becoming political appointees of these agencies to carry out these new anti-abortion measures themselves.

This will enable the Trump administration to have everything and everyone it needs to carry out its goal of rescinding abortion rights everywhere nationwide — no matter where you live.

Faith, as these groups work on their plan, I've got a plan too. To fight like hell to keep Trump out of the White House, work to re-elect President Biden, flip the House, and expand the Senate with more pro-choice Democrats. That way, we'll have the votes we need to codify abortion rights into federal law.

Splitting a donation to our campaign and the Biden-Harris campaign today is one of the best ways to make sure that the Heritage Foundation's 2025 Presidential Transition Project remains just a radical little pet project and never sees the light of day. Will you please pitch in $28 or anything you can to power our work to protect abortion rights at the federal level?
