evidence: Those plans — and many more, including proposals to attack contraception access, use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase "abortion surveillance" and data collection, rescind a Department of Defense policy to "prohibit abortion travel funding," punish states that require health insurance plans to cover abortion, and retool a law that is currently protecting pregnant women with life-threatening conditions — are outlined in Project 2025’s "Mandate for Leadership." Project 2025 is an initiative of the Heritage Foundation, a rightwing think tank that has helped staff and set the agenda for every Republican administration since Ronald Reagan. It describes Project 2025 as "the conservative movement’s unified effort to be ready for the next conservative administration to govern at 12:00 noon, January 20, 2025." [...] Project 2025, meanwhile, is already pre-screening applicants for jobs in the next Republican administration, filtering out candidates based on their answers to a list of questions, including whether they agree or disagree with the statement: "Life has a right to legal protection from conception to natural death."
