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.

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.

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?
