Roger Severino, from the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services, worked to protect health workers who refused to perform procedures like abortion for religious reasons. After Trump left office, Severino helped develop a plan with the Heritage Foundation to refocus the department on traditional marriage and family. This vision, outlined in Project 2025, has sparked controversy as Democrats see it as an extreme conservative power grab. Severino’s proposals touch on heated culture war issues like reproductive rights, gender identity, and contraception. These policies could find support under a conservative administration but have faced criticism from LGBTQ+ and liberal advocacy groups.
