Africa: U.S. Plan to Destroy Contraceptives Is Unconscionable: [MSF] The United States government's plan to destroy US$9.7 million worth of contraceptives is a callous waste that puts the health and lives of women and girls at risk. Media reports state that these supplies were purchased and ready to be shipped to regions where they are desperately needed. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TMB38b #ContraceptiveAccess #WomensHealth #HealthcareJustice #GlobalHealth #ReproductiveRights

A provision in #Trump’s tax bill instructed the federal government to end Medicaid payments for one year to #abortion providers that received more than $800,000 from #Medicaid in 2023, even to those like #PlannedParenthood that also offer #MedicalServices like #contraception, #PregnancyTests, #STD testing & #CancerScreenings.
“Patients are likely to suffer adverse health consequences where care is disrupted or unavailable,” Talwani wrote in her Monday order. “In particular, restricting Members’ ability to provide #healthcare services threatens an increase in unintended pregnancies & attendant complications because of reduced #access to effective #contraceptives, & an increase in undiagnosed & untreated #STIs.”
The new order replaces a previous edict handed down by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston last week. Talwani initially granted a preliminary injunction specifically blocking the #Trump admin from cutting #Medicaid payments to #PlannedParenthood members that didn’t provide #abortion care or didn’t meet a threshold of at least $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in a given year.
Judge blocks #Trump administration's efforts to defund #PlannedParenthood
A federal judge on Monday says Planned Parenthood clinics #nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for #Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest #abortion provider fights Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature #tax #legislation.
