The New York Times reports that the State Department plans to redirect $48.5 million intended for family planning and reproductive health care in low-income countries. This follows repeated moves to withhold, rescind, or leave unspent U.S. funding for these essential services.

“The consequences of these decisions are not theoretical: Every dollar withheld has a human cost,” PAI President and CEO Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins told the Times.

Congress must protect the funding it approved and ensure it reaches the people it was intended to serve.

Thank you to Olivia Diaz and @snolenglobal at The @nytimes for reporting on these decisions and their consequences for communities around the world.
