Dear Friend, Nurse Annie travels to remote Madagascar communities, bringing reproductive healthcare to women in need. But the past four years were tough for the women she serves. Trump's Global Gag Rule (GGR) cut off U.S. Government funding to organizations like MSI that even talk about abortion, leaving many women with nowhere to turn. We estimate that 20,000 pregnancy related deaths occurred because of the GGR. | | | Women gather at an outreach site in Madagascar. | | Now, this policy has been repealed. But the next Republican president will likely reinstate it. In the meantime, US domestic politics surrounding abortion threaten a woman's access to choice worldwide through measures like the Helms Amendment. Life-changing reproductive healthcare for poor women with no other options shouldn't depend on who's in the White House. It's time to permanently end the Global Gag Rule, repeal the Helms Amendment and reestablish the United States as a leader in women's reproductive healthcare and rights. If you agree, add your name: Let's get politics out of women's health! | | By speaking out together, we can make a difference for women in Madagascar and around the world. Thank you for standing for choice when it matters.  Marjorie Newman-Williams President, MSI United States | | | | | |
