Trump Administration Takes Down Federal Reproductive Rights Website
The Biden-era website providing abortion and reproductive health information went offline hours after Donald Trump's inauguration for his second term.
- ReproductiveRights.gov, a federal website launched in 2022 to provide information on abortion and other reproductive health services, was taken offline shortly after Trump assumed office on January 20, 2025.
- The site, operated by the Department of Health and Human Services, offered resources on abortion access, birth control, cancer screenings, and other preventive care services.
- The Trump administration has not provided an explanation for the website's removal, and inquiries to the Department of Health and Human Services remain unanswered.
- Reproductive rights advocates have expressed alarm over the removal, viewing it as part of a broader rollback of reproductive health protections during Trump's second term.
- This action follows Trump's campaign stance of leaving abortion policy to individual states and his previous administration's history of limiting access to reproductive health information.
