Trump Shuts Down U.S. Government’s Reproductive Rights Website?
Reproductiverights.gov, a government-funded site that provided information and resources to women seeking “reproductive care,” has been shut down and is no longer presently online, as reported by multiple news sources.
The site, which was set up by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2022, was designed to make it easier for women to murder their babies, linking to the website ‘abortionfinder.org’ while also telling people how they can access emergency contraceptives and abortifacient drugs. Notably, it did not link to crisis pregnancy centers, despite claiming to want to help women access ‘appropriate information and support’ about reproductive care.’ The website itself reads:
Reproductive health care, including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion care, is an essential part of your health and well-being. While Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion remains legal in many states, and other reproductive health care services remain protected by law. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is committed to providing you with accurate and up-to-date information about access to and coverage of reproductive health care and resources.”
An archived version of the site shows:
While taking down the website would be within the purview of Trump’s team and in line with his administration’s view on abortion, with the website last archived on January 15th and no official or independent confirmation from the newly formed government, it is unclear who took it down, and whether it may come back up.
