'All about dismantling the autonomy of women': Project 2025 warns that Dobbs is 'just the beginning' - Velshi - MSNBC



In the foreword of Project 2025, on page six, the Heritage Foundation’s president Kevin Roberts warns, “The Dobbs decision is just the beginning.” Abortion is mentioned 199 times in the document and it includes plenty of ideas to further restrict reproductive rights that are so extreme that it will continue to endanger more women’s lives.

“Project 2025 is about dismantling democracy,” says Georgetown Constitutional Law & Global Health Policy professor Michele Goodwin, noting that abortion is just the first part of it. “This is all about dismantling the autonomy of women.” - Aired on 07/28/2024.

First he explains a section - then his guests describe how people and planet will be affected.

It's much easier hearing about it from Ali Velshi who we know is "one of us" and explains the details so well.

They're constantly coming up with ways to "put women in their place" - and passing dangerous laws to control women's bodies is only the beginning.
