The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.
I'm trying to save them.
You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

With the Trump admin deleting critical data from health agency websites, there are many independent efforts to archive the data. @maggiek.bsky.social is putting together a guide to help locate where all the data is being backed up. Use the form below to let her know about your efforts.
