When the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and its contractors were shut down earlier this year, some ten million dollars’ worth of contraceptives were left in a warehouse in Europe. These supplies could have helped prevent pregnancies in a number of poorer countries, but the Trump administration has now destroyed them.
An English non-profit for reproductive rights offered to repackage, relabel and distribute these 2,000,000 packs of contraceptive pills, 50,000 IUDs, and 900,000 implant devices, so they could go to help mostly African women avoid unwanted pregnancies. The administration refused.
This administration has also showed it wants to prevent women in the U.S. from controlling pregnancies, by ending programs that distributed contraception to low-income women. These women will have fewer choices in life, thanks to politicians’ decisions.
In 2024, the U.S. spent as much on the military as all the other wealthy countries in the world COMBINED. That says what really matters to U.S. politicians.
