“This was the first place we realized how little access women had to #familyplanning,” Sara said. “It didn’t exist here. That’s why we made #reproductivehealth one of our pillars..."

The freezing of US foreign aid has already had a devastating impact on access to contraceptives around the world. A full year without US funding could lead to 17.1 million unintended pregnancies, 5.2 million unsafe abortions, and 34,000 preventable maternal deaths.

The fact that the Secretary of Health is a crackpot is the real threat.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.
Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy.

Taxpayers have already bought nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives currently sitting in a European warehouse. These could help nearly a million and half women and girls in the developing world prevent unintended pregnancy. But Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are just going to set it all on fire.

We had a letter published in @nytimes.com today responding to the Trump administration’s disturbing call for “more babies.” Our response challenges the harmful narrative behind these pronatalist policies.

@unfpa.bsky.social just announced a "devastating decision" by the US government terminating 48 grants, totalling approximately $377 million.
See the impact of these cuts in this graphic.

This is very disturbing. Make sure to follow this current tactic of the anti-abortion movement, which they’re using as a tool to ultimately ban abortion. #ReproductiveFreedom #Fight4HER

Elon Musk's attack on U.S. AID and foreign assistance will undermine global health, resource conservation, economic development and security. All so he and his broligarch buddies can have a more money in their pockets. It's disgusting and needs to be stopped and reversed.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
Funding for international #familyplanning has stalled while the number of women needing #moderncontraception grows. Empowering women to choose if and when to get pregnant is key to human rights and benefits all development areas. So why aren’t governments prioritizing it?

Trump is returning—and surely bringing his expanded #GlobalGagRule. A ban on @unfpa.bsky.social funding & his disregard for rising maternal deaths.
