Create a research agenda on the harms of abortion to women

Not started

461 14. Department of Health and Human Services

“Finally, HHS should create and promote a research agenda that supports pro-life policies and explores the harms, both mental and physical, that abortion has wrought on women and girls.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    HHS has created no research agenda on the harms of abortion to women. The NIH Guide carries no in-window notice, funding opportunity or program announcement on the subject - its fifteen hits for "abortion" are all pre-2025 - and the Federal Register carries no HHS research priority notice on it.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes

  • The four p. 455 CDC asks (#1217, #1219, #1220, #1221) share one negative search with this one. CDC’s Abortion Surveillance system, its reproductive-health messaging and its funding decisions are all documented only on cdc.gov, which refused to open for us; those pages were not read for this item.
