2025 IN REVIEW: THE YEAR OF DEFIANCE
Team—
This year was a pivotal one in the fight for reproductive rights. It was a year marked not only by relentless attacks on our freedoms—but by our relentless defiance.
With you by our side, we've led the fight for reproductive freedom with everything we have: in the courts, in our communities, and in the halls of power. [[link removed]]
Here's what we accomplished together in 2025, in the United States alone:
Suing the Trump Admin for Withholding Records on Medication Abortion
When the Trump administration announced plans to re-evaluate mifepristone—medication abortion proven safe and effective through decades of peer-reviewed science—based on discredited extremist policy papers rather than medical evidence, the Center demanded transparency. When officials ignored multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests about their review process, we sued.
The public deserves to know whether the FDA is making decisions based on science—or political pressure. We won't stop until we have answers. [[link removed]]

Fighting Back Against Medicaid Defunding
Trump's so-called "big beautiful bill" restricted Medicaid funding for family planning clinics that provide abortion care—putting lives at risk, especially in rural areas. For providers like our client Maine Family Planning (MFP) , this threatened access to essential care for thousands of low-income patients.
MFP serves around 8,000 patients at its 18 clinics and mobile unit every year, with tens of thousands more receiving care through subcontracted clinics statewide. This attack followed another unlawful move: freezing Title X, the nation’s only dedicated family planning safety-net program.
The Center fought back. We filed FOIA requests to expose the illegal withholding of Title X funds and sued the Trump administration on behalf of MFP over the dangerous defunding of Medicaid. [[link removed]]
"We will keep fighting to make sure all Mainers—no matter where they live or what insurance they have—can access the healthcare they need from the provider they trust." –Nancy Northup, President and CEO

Exposing Efforts to Dismantle our Reproductive Rights
From day one, the Trump administration has taken unprecedented action to restrict and roll back reproductive rights—often out of public view.
To expose these efforts, we launched the Repro Red Flags Tool , which tracks:
* The Trump admin's full assault on reproductive rights
* Key appointees, agency leaders, and their records
* Executive actions impacting health care
Our tool cuts through misinformation with facts and legal analysis—revealing the real threats to our rights.

Winning Expanded Protections for Midwives in Hawai'i
A 2023 law in Hawai'i placed severe restrictions on traditional midwives, worsening an already dire maternal health crisis. We challenged the law—and won. As a result, lawmakers repealed many of the harmful restrictions, protecting Native Hawaiian midwives from criminalization and expanding pathways for future providers. [[link removed]]
