Political Factoid

Donald Trump has imposed
a ban on U.S. assistance
for aid groups that provide
any global health services,
unless they promise not to
"perform or actively promote
abortion as a method of
family planning."
. . .  but doing that is
actually increasing
the rate of abortions, by
about 40% in the countries
studied -- likely because
the funding ban caused a
reduction in access to
contraception and a
consequent rise in
unwanted pregnancies.
