PhoenixLatest Newsconception, Global, GOP, Healthcare, Reproductive rights, Trump, Wasted Funds

The Trump administration has wasted $434,317 in taxpayer dollars since January 2025 to store contraceptives that it refuses to distribute to women and girls in low-income countries. A report from the Office of Inspector General of US Agency for International Development (USAID) reveals that the administration has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in storage and transportation costs for the $9.7 million worth of family planning supplies that it abandoned in Belgium rather than allowing them to be used.

In places like Alabama, Louisiana, and West Virginia, abortion bans have pushed women out of the workforce, diminished their earnings, and limited job growth, the report found. Removing reproductive health-care barriers could result in an estimated 325,000 more women aged 15-44 participating in the workforce each year, the report shows. That could boost the national…

Why the Trump Administration is Calling Embryos “Children” & Why It’s Dangerous

In June 2026, the Trump administration quietly revised a federal grant program to help give rights and benefits to embryos, a move that is aligned with a key legal strategy of the anti-abortion movement.
