Jared Polis warns of the dangers of Project 2025
CHICAGO — Addressing the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, gay Colorado Gov. Jared Polis warned of the dangers presented by Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s governing blueprint for a second Donald Trump administration.
He began by outlining the extreme restrictions on reproductive freedom that would be effectuated under the plan, which would go far beyond an abortion ban. “It says that Donald Trump could use an obscure law from the 1800s to single handedly ban abortion in all 50 states, even putting doctors in jail,” he said, while “page 486 puts limits on contraception” and “page 450 threatens access to IVF.” “On page 455,” Polis continued, “Project 2025 says that states have to report miscarriages to the Trump administration” and “page 451 says the only legitimate family is a married mother and father, where only the father works.” The governor spoke while holding a large “Project 2025” book.
Tearing out a page, he said, “You know what? I’m going to take that one out. I’m going to put that in my pocket so I can share it with undecided voters, so they better understand what’s at stake this election.” Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov.
Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s presidential and vice presidential nominees, have focused much of their messaging on issues of reproductive freedom.
