Dear [First],
With one stroke of his marker, Donald Trump reimposed the deadly Global Gag Rule—ending U.S. foreign aid to reproductive health organizations like MSI Reproductive Choices simply because we refuse to be silent about abortion.
Because we won't be gagged, millions of women are now being cut off from their only source of contraception, safe abortion, HIV testing, and cervical cancer screenings.
Then they made it worse with cuts to all foreign aid. Now, they’re taking it even further.
$9.7 million worth of contraceptives — enough to protect millions of women from unplanned pregnancies and the risks that come with them — is being held hostage in a warehouse in Belgium, waiting to be destroyed.
MSI offered to pick up and distribute those supplies at our own expense, getting them directly to women in need. The Trump administration said no.
They would rather burn birth control than let women have it. This is what we’re up against. A war not just on abortion, but on contraception, information, and basic bodily autonomy. A war on women’s futures.
