At least eight states have given TANF funds (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) to crisis pregnancy centers in recent years. It's literally taking food out of the mouths of babes in order to fund anti-choice ideology and lies.

Here's an inspiring story from Dr Emmanuel Ewagnignon, an Ob/Gyn from Benin. "The women dying of unsafe abortion practices are our wives, our daughters, our sisters, our mothers. If the woman you love the most is in danger of losing her life, would you let her die?"

figo.orgFacing the reality of unsafe abortions head on | FigoFor years in Benin, unsafe abortion was a silent killer. Every year, nearly 500 women and girls died – not from rare diseases or unavoidable complications, but from clandestine unsafe procedures carried out in secrecy and fear. Lives lost quietly, often unnamed. Dr Emmanuel Ewagnignon, President of the National College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians of Benin (CNGOB) saw the consequences firsthand.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

Uganda's strict abortion law leads to high maternal mortality due to unsafe abortion - which is almost entirely preventable if abortion was decriminalized and made available free and on request. Yet advocates continue to call for more contraceptive use and education, and rarely for legal reform.

theguardian.comTrump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggestsExclusive: US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies feel ever more distant, results show A year after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a global survey suggests much of the world believes his nation-first, “Make America Great Again” approach is instead helping to make China great again. The 21-country survey for the influential European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank also found that under Trump, the US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies – particularly in Europe – feel ever more distant.
