Stop the destruction of $10 million in birth control

That's why we're telling State Department Secretary Marco Rubio:

Release the $10 million in contraceptives to women in need.

Just six months after the Trump administration reinstated the Global Gag Rule and cut billions of dollars in foreign aid, the U.S. Department of State has announced that it will destroy $10 million in contraceptives, rather than send them to women in need.

The IUDs, implants, and other long-acting contraceptives were intended for women in Africa in areas of crisis, such as war zones and refugee camps. Before the Trump administration's obliteration of global health aid, each day 130,390 women and girls got contraceptive care under U.S.-funded programs. The upcoming destruction of contraceptives is the definition of senseless and cruel.
