Trump Administration Allows Contraceptives to Expire
The Trump administration is letting a stockpile of nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives expire in a Belgian warehouse, despite pleas from nonprofit organizations to deliver the aid to low-income women in sub-Saharan Africa.
The contraceptives, which include IUDs, implants, and birth control pills, were originally intended for distribution by the U.S. Agency for International Development before it was dismantled by Trump.
- $9.7 million worth of contraceptives will expire, with some becoming too old to deliver starting in December.
- An estimate from the Guttmacher Institute found that the contraceptives could provide pregnancy prevention to roughly 1.6 million women.
The Trump administration would rather let birth control expire than give it to Africans as aid.
