It has nothing to do with "trusting" women and everything to do with controlling women.

Just as their supposed assertions to "protecting life" are truly hypocritical since there is little concern for the quality of our lives subsequent to birth. It's all BS.

We need to talk about what Project 2025 will do to the lives of Americans by banning abortion and contraception. Let's get the word out in a targeted way that reaches more voters. Obviously, women demand autonomy over their bodies — but don't forget about parents and grandparents of teens and adults — single men & women who don't buy into the religious right's assertion that sex is only for making babies — and people starting a family, concerned about pregnancy complications. Let's rethink how we address Project 2025 in a way that speaks to people based on what their lives are like, what they value, and who they love. The campaigns use ad agencies to target specific audiences — but the anti-MAGA public also needs more compelling, targeting messages.

Sounds like my great grandmother's life in whale bone corsets and no rights at all

And they had the audacity to put the year in the title (doesn’t sound like 2025 does it?)

It is such a sad irony that the anti-abortion movement, which is supposedly so concerned with the life of the unborn child, is killing so many children.

I am deeply grateful to you for reading P25 and summarizing for those of us who don’t have time to read nearly 1000 pages of lies and double talk.

Antiabortion arguments are not biologically accurate, not medically accurate, and not theologically sound. The Bible says nothing about abortion. In Exodus 21 a law related to harming a pregnant person is given a minor penalty if only the fetus is harmed, but if the pregnant person herself is harmed, the penalty is stiff, clearly indicating that the well-being of the pregnant person is prioritized over the fetus. The quality of life that a pregnant person can expect is also prioritized in the decision-making about continuing or ending a pregnancy. Christian scripture says Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly. If continuing a pregnancy is going to make the life of the family, and most people who have abortions already have one or more other children, impoverished, a struggle, and unbearably difficult, it can be an act of conscience to end the pregnancy. The Turnaway Study reveals the detrimental effects of being denied a needed pregnancy, effects demeaned by those who oppose abortion as “inconvenient.”

The fallacies in the P25 documents are appalling.

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you're finding it worthwhile. Also this comment of yours is a chef's kiss summary: "Antiabortion arguments are not biologically accurate, not medically accurate, and not theologically sound."

You know, I’m really tired of people telling me that they are going to “read (something - whatever) so you don’t have to.“ How condescending is that? Most of us read just as much if not more than a lot of the writers on Substack and Medium do anyway. This is nothing more than virtue signaling. And believe it or not, we form our own opinions so you don’t have to form them for us. How about that?

I see it as the exact other way around. I'm busy. If someone has the time and expertise to read a lengthy document and summarize it for me in a way I can digest and understand, I'll happily take that offer. Nothing prevents you from reading in full and forming your own opinions, but if you are short on time, a summary helps. How bout that?

At one time, I would have read the entire manifesto. I have other activities I must prioritize, so having summaries by writers I trust is valuable. Thank you!

Thank you for the summary. It will help many people who, exactly as you have stated, may not have time to read it all. Maybe it will peak curiosity for many who would not have read it at all. I have read enough of it to know how completely dangerous it is to the average person.
