Women Under Fire, the GOP's radical agenda to penalize sinners.

The article opens with an epigraph from a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, titled How the Women Went From Dover.

They will be able to ban the shipment of anything from drugs to surgical devices that can be

used to produce an abortion. This could end even most hospital-based

abortions by essentially outlining the equipment needed to perform them. As Project

2025 proclaims on page 594 of their mandate for leadership for the next Republican
