Dont destroy contraceptives
It was announced last week that the US State Department plans to destroy millions of dollars' worth of taxpayer-funded contraceptives meant for women in low-income countries.
A stockpile of family planning products — including IUDs, implants and pills — worth $9.7 million has been stuck at a warehouse in Belgium since the administration dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and froze foreign aid earlier this year, according to statements from multiple humanitarian groups and U.S. lawmakers.
The products' expiration dates range from 2027 to 2031, according to Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF) and the reproductive health care nonprofit MSI United States.
That this is happening right when the world needs to take the pressure of the planet by curbing about unwanted population growth is unforgiveable.
Reverse this decision now!
