Told ya. Heritage is the lead organizer of Project 25. They want the next Republican president to give them control over approving and withdrawing approval of drugs. They are coming for birth control via the FDA, regardless of the courts. 1/
5/ Alliance Defending Freedom and Heritage collaborate. We saw already saw how they used the courts to attack FDA approval of the abortion pill. If they control the FDA, they won’t need the courts to withdraw approval of whatever drug they oppose.
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts seems to advocate concealing their true views on abortion (“never morally justified”) w/ savvy messaging about caring about the life of the mother. But he says they may have to fess up if a “hostile reporter” asks too many questions. 1/
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts seems to advocate concealing the extent of their policy agenda for contraception. He also said he believes in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church on contraception. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that contraception is a sin. 1/
Heritage Foundation is the lead organizer of Project 2025 (which I called Project 25, below). 2/
The “Ethics & Public Policy Center” partners w/ Project 25, which seeks to staff federal agencies w/ religious zealots. Here, they complain that hormonal birth control started the sexual revolution & suggest women were better off in the 1950s. Leonard Leo sits on the board. 1/
3/ Here’s a link to the organizations that sit on the Project 25 “Advisory Board.” As u can see, the so-called “Ethics and Public Policy Center is on the list. heritage.org/press/project-…
“True the Vote, … whose alleged data formed the basis of the election conspiracy theorist documentary ‘2,000 Mules,’ told a court it doesn't have any records to support its claims of extensive voter fraud in Georgia, reported the AJC on Wednesday.” 1/ rawstory.com/right-wing-gro…

3/ What’s extra gross (and underreported) is that True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht claimed to believe that “God has put us on this mission.” Almost all of the Big Lie hucksters hid their deception behind a cross. It’s sickening.
I’ll keep saying it. The far right is paving the way to withdraw FDA approval of hormonal birth control in the event that Trump wins and gives them control of the FDA via Project 25. If u needed more proof, Elon Musk’s recent screed against hormonal birth control provides it. 1/
Fundamentalist Catholics & many evangelicals oppose IUDs, which prevent implantation of fertilized eggs, which they say = abortion. They also oppose hormonal birth control bc they think it enabled women to shirk their “role” as breeders & homemakers. “Safety” concerns = pretext.
