Project 2025 is a plan about how to regulate and control people of color, including how they organize, work, play and live. It seeks to regulate what they do with their bodies, how they advocate for their rights, and how they build family and community — all while disregarding the historical injustices and contemporary persecution they have experienced.

OCR should withdraw its Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)®* guidance on abortion. OCR should withdraw its June 2022 guidance” that purports to address patient privacy concerns following the Dobbs decision but is actually a politicized statement in favor of abortion and against Dobbs. HIPAA covers patients in the womb, but this guidance treats them as nonpersons contrary to law. The guidance
is unnecessary and contributes to ideologically motivated fearmongering about abortion after Dobbs.
