Reinstating the Mexico City Policy puts access to critical services for millions of people at risk—especially access to health services for women and girls. For many women in the world’s poorest places, access to comprehensive reproductive health care isn’t just about family planning—it’s a lifeline that helps keep themselves and their children alive. When women decide whether and when to have children, it saves lives, improves health outcomes, expands education, and creates prosperity—no matter which country in the world you’re talking about. We hope America’s leaders focus on improving women’s health and empowering organizations to deliver essential care—not creating barriers that endanger the lives of women worldwide.
