    Project 2029: How We Protect Reproductive Rights Against MAGA

    In part three of Project 2029: A Reimagining, host Molly Jong-Fast convenes leading advocates ( including Abortion Everyday’s Jessica Valenti, The Center for Reproductive Rights Nancy Northup, UCLA’s Mary Ziegler and The Guttmacher Institutes Kelly Baden) and experts to examine the post–Roe v. Wade landscape and the far-reaching consequences of abortion bans, from criminal penalties and “bounty hunter” civil enforcement to threats against medication abortion, telehealth, travel, IVF, and even miscarriage and emergency pregnancy care. The episode outlines how these policies have increased medical risk and uncertainty for patients and providers, expanded surveillance and litigation, and empowered crisis pregnancy centers while undermining access to contraception and reproductive health services. Looking ahead, the conversation focuses on what Democrats could do when they regain power: pursue comprehensive federal protections, repeal legal tools like the Comstock Act that could enable backdoor national restrictions, strengthen state-level shield laws, address affordability through insurance and Medicaid reforms, and build an agenda that treats reproductive freedom as an urgent, durable national right rather than a temporary compromise.
