If you were to take a look at Alyssa Milano’s X profile at this moment, you would see she recently reposted a video claiming the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 wants to ban chemotherapy for women.
The video was not made by Milano, but the washed-up Hollywood actress still has 3.3 million followers on X, ensuring the video has been seen by millions of people. In the video, a woman claims that page 455 of the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership will ban chemotherapy for women.
“[Donald] Trump and J.D. Vance’s Project 2025 plan bans chemotherapy for women,” the woman says. “On page 455, they start discussing preventing women from receiving chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can sometimes affect a woman’s reproductive health and even the fetus, so now they want to make all medical decisions for women. They want to decide what treatments we receive, and none of this will apply to men.”
The claim is both absurd and untrue. The project says nothing of the sort. The only mention of chemotherapy in the entire document pertains to data collection on abortion. Here’s the relevant passage:
“Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, [the Department of Health and Human Services] should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method,” the policy manual says. “It should also ensure that statistics are separated by category: spontaneous miscarriage; treatments that incidentally result in the death of a child (such as chemotherapy); stillbirths; and induced abortion.”
In other words, the only reason that chemotherapy is mentioned on page 455 is to ensure that a miscarriage caused by chemotherapy is reported to the federal government as a miscarriage caused by chemotherapy. There is absolutely no suggestion that it would be banned.
Project 2025 has become a favorite talking point of the Harris campaign, which is desperately trying to tie the Heritage Foundation project to a second Trump administration. But in celebrities such as Milano, the Harris campaign has surrogates with enormous audiences that can peddle the campaign’s dishonest smears of conservatives and the project.

Milano, like many of her celebrity counterparts, is not interested in honestly debating conservative ideas, so she and others must resort to falsehoods. Last month, Mark Hamill and Jennifer Aniston both shared a graphic showing 30 bullet points that are supposedly in Project 2025. Only a great number of the policies are not in the project or in any Trump campaign policy agenda video.
Milano, Hamill, Aniston, and plenty of other wannabe political activists in Hollywood can’t make any good movies anymore, so they must resort to peddling disinformation about conservative policy goals on social media.
