President-elect Trump's expected funding cuts to global women’s health organizations would not only increase rates of abortion but also significantly jeopardize access to contraception, leading to increased maternal mortality and health complications. A study by The National Academy of Sciences found 108,000 deaths of mothers and children were attributed to similar policies during Trump’s previous term in office, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of such actions on vulnerable populations.
Trump's previous cuts to women's health have been framed as 'protecting life in global health,' but they have led to real-world tragedies. One poignant example is a 16-year-old girl from Madagascar who became pregnant due to a lack of access to affordable contraception. Her story underscores the human cost behind political decisions, highlighting how severe cuts in health funding translate into lost opportunities and lives in impoverished regions.
