NO EVIDENCE	Claim by Kamala Harris (D): Former President Donald Trump would “force states to monitor women’s pregnancies.” PolitiFact rating: False (Fact checks do not predict the future; however, Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint assembled by former President Donald Trump’s allies, recommends that states be required to report complete data on pregnancies that end in fetal death. This data would reflect certain pregnancy outcomes, including abortions, miscarriages and stillbirths. It would not involve the government tracking progress during pregnancies. Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, and he has not advocated this policy — much less the one Harris described.) Kamala Harris wrong that Donald Trump plans to ‘force states to monitor women’s pregnancies’ Kamala Harris Rating
