Congress amended Comstock_Act_of_1873 to remove the prohibition on contraceptives in 1971.

Students for Life, one of the largest anti-abortion groups in the country and a prominent lobbying force for anti-choice policies, lists virtually all forms of hormonal contraception as being “abortifacient” medication on their website.

Project 2025 never says to appoint personnel that will break the law.

The first paragraph of the personnel change section says that it's proposed trump appoint people who "who would be more willing to bend or break protocol, or in some cases violate laws, to achieve his goals"

No where in project 2025 does it say anything about appointing people to break the law. The citation doesn't say anything about it either, the closest it gets is saying that trump was thwarted from enacting policy changes by people who refused to violate laws during his last presidency which is different from claiming that there is an intent to put people in place who would violate the law in the future.

Given it's not backed up by citation I propose simply removing the section in commas about violating laws. If you want to include it then someone needs to find better citation where someone does explicitly making the claim. It also needs to be made clear the difference between people accusing project 2025 of having an intent of putting people willing to break law in power and project 2025 explicitly stating they believe trump should do that, as the current reading makes it sound as if project 2025 literally says they should appoint law breakers. 144.51.12.162 (talk) 22:25, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the source, I agree: that's a misrepresentation (albeit one that seems to have been made in good faith) of what the AP article said. I have removed that specific statement. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:32, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
