Trump has distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation document.
Alex Brandon/APFrom his perch in the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services , Roger Severino made a controversial name for himself, working to shield health workers who declined to perform medical procedures including abortion on religious grounds.
Severino declined to comment extensively on Project 2025, but he pushed back in an interview on assertions that it would ban access to medication abortion. But the campaign's message is undermined by the document's authorship; its contributors include a number of high-ranking officials from Trump's first administration, including former White House adviser Peter Navarro; Christopher Miller, whose positions included acting secretary of defense; and Trump's secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson.
The proposals for HHS laid out in Project 2025 have alarmed LGBTQ+ advocacy groups as well as some researchers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would cease collecting data on gender identity because, the Project 2025 report says, it "legitimizes the unscientific notion that men can become women ," and health agencies would study the "negative effects of cross-sex interventions" such as puberty blockers.
HHS Office of Civil Rights Director Roger Severino speaks at a news conference announcing a new division on Conscience and Religious Freedom at the Department of Health and Human Services January 18, 2018 in Washington, DC.The concepts may appeal to many in Trump's conservative base, however. Nine in 10 U.S. adults say a husband and wife raising children together is completely acceptable, according to aby the Pew Research Center.
