Numerous Project 2025 groups have claimed over the years that abortion is comparable to or even worse than the Holocaust. Those partners have called abortion the “American Holocaust”; said that “someday, abortion will be viewed historically as a modern-day Holocaust, maybe even worse”; and claimed that “America’s holocaust against the unborn makes Hitler’s holocaust pale in comparison.”

Project 2025 is an extreme right-wing initiative headed by The Heritage Foundation that’s been crafting policy proposals and recruiting personnel for the next conservative administration. The project’s proposals include extreme rollbacks to reproductive rights, including access to surrogacy, IVF, mifepristone, and contraception.

The initiative is closely tied to former President Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance, who wrote the foreword for Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts’ book.

The project has over 100 partner groups, including organizations that have continued to signal that they want to criminalize abortion. Media Matters recently documented that numerous Project 2025 groups have also pushed the false claim that abortions are never medically necessary.

Numerous Project 2025 partner groups have spent years claiming that abortion is comparable to or even worse than the Holocaust. Here is a look at those claims, which were made both before and after the formation of Project 2025.
