BREAKING: MSNBC's Ari Velshi declares war on Donald Trump's fascist Project 2025 and vows to use his show to expose all of its seedy details — starting with abortion and reproductive rights.
This is truly heroic and the last thing that Trump needs...
"Starting today on Velshi we are taking you inside Project 2025 every weekend, every time I'm on TV I'm going to dig into these pages and parse exactly what is in this mandate," said Velshi.
"Today we're kicking it off with abortion and reproductive rights. Abortion is mentioned 199 times through Project 2025," he said.
"The forward to the entire thing reads 'the Dobbs decision is just the beginning. Conservatives in the states and in Washington, including the next conservative administration, should push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America. In particular, the next conservative president should work with Congress to enact the robust protections for the unborn that Congress will support while deploying existing federal powers to protect innocent life and vigorously complying with statutory bans on the federal funding of abortion.'"
"Later on in the chapter on the Department Health and Human Services, Roger Severino, a former Trump White House official, wrote: 'The secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life. From the moment of conception every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth. Abortion and euthanasia are not healthcare,'" quoted Velshi.
"He doesn't stop there," Velshi continued. "On medication abortion, he writes 'Abortion pills pose the single greatest threat to unborn children in a post-Roe world. FDA should therefore reverse its approval of chemical abortion drugs because the politicized approval process was illegal from the start.'"
"Project 2025 aims to prevent abortion from the moment of conception which would likely involve establishing so-called 'personhood rights' for embryos and fetuses," explained Velshi.
"It aims to crack down on so-called 'abortion tourism,' instances in which women travel to liberal states to seek abortions," he continued. "It proposes using the Comstock Act to prosecute people who send abortion pills by mail. It aims to take away most medication abortion altogether."
Velshi must be commended for airing the truth about what Trump and his MAGA allies will do with a second administration.
Republicans want to force a deeply unpopular national abortion ban onto America — and then crack down hard when we take to the streets to protest such policy.
The only solution is to make sure that Trump never gets into power again by defeating him overwhelmingly at the ballot box.
Project 2025 is a blueprint for a fascist Christian Nationalist America, but together we can defeat it.
Help spread awareness whenever and wherever you can!
