## Key points

- Project 2025 contributor Natalie Dodson gained a senior HHS advisory role.
- Her promotion has alarmed reproductive-health researchers.
- Federal reviews and policy proposals could restrict access to abortion medication.

## Summary

Natalie Dodson, a contributor to Project 2025 and an anti-abortion activist, was promoted in October to a senior advisory role in the US Department of Health and Human Services. The move places her closer to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and has raised concerns among reproductive-health researchers about her record of spreading misinformation and opposition to abortion medication.

Dodson also serves as acting deputy assistant secretary for population affairs, overseeing the division responsible for Title X family-planning funds, and received an award for work on the department’s Moms.gov website. Her promotion comes as federal agencies consider actions that could limit abortion access: the FDA is reviewing mifepristone, while officials have discussed mail access and the Comstock Act. The article says the FDA review is expected to conclude early next year and that the administration’s latest FDA nominee has called abortion pills dangerous.
