Project 2025:
Impact and Implications for Family Building and Reproductive Rights
Project 2025 set out an expansive agenda to increase the power of the executive branch and advance conservative policies that impact individuals’ fundamental rights, including reproductive rights, protections for the LGBTQ+ community, and assisted reproduction. As we close out this year, how much of the Project 2025 agenda has been achieved already, and what implications does this have for individuals and families at all stages of their family building journeys? This panel will explore the current landscape of family planning (including assisted reproductive technology such as IVF and surrogacy) and reproductive rights, as well as discuss ongoing efforts to protect these rights and more.
