Opinion | Reproductive Health Is More Than Abortions
Briefly

The proposed cuts to women's health funding by Trump would not only target abortion services, but also drastically reduce access to contraception, leading to alarming increases in maternal mortality and cervical cancer cases globally.
A report by The National Academy of Sciences revealed that during Trump's presidency, similar policies resulted in an estimated 108,000 deaths of children and mothers in poorer nations, revealing the severe consequences of inadequate health services.
The tragic story of a girl from Madagascar illustrates the devastating impact of reduced access to affordable contraception, suggesting that the loss of such resources leads to unwanted pregnancies, school dropouts, and the potential for increased abortions.
Considering the ramifications of diminished health funding, it's clear that the fallout of these decisions extends well beyond the topic of abortion and poses grave risks to women's health worldwide.
