Abortion is essential health care, and everyone should be able to get abortion care, coverage, information and referrals without interference. The Weldon Amendment and related federal “refusal of care” policies embolden health insurance plans, health care institutions and medical providers to deny abortion services and coverage, without regard to the impact on patients’ rights, health or well-being and often under the rubric of protecting “conscience” or “religious freedom.”| Guttmacher Institute
Project 2025 promotes a presidential agenda that rolls back civil and human rights and implements extremist conservative policies across every federal department and agency. Its sweeping far-right policy framework,1 by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, includes numerous attacks on sexual and reproductive health and rights. | Guttmacher Institute
