With one devastating flourish of the presidential pen, worldwide progress on family planning, population control and reproductive rights was swept away. In that moment, on his very first Monday morning in office, Donald Trump effectively signed the death warrants of thousands of women. He reversed global progress on contraception, family planning, population control and reproductive rights. It is no longer just international family planning organisations that must agree not to “perform or actively promote abortion”. An injectable contraceptive called Sayana Press and a tireless healthworker called Aisha Mugoya have belatedly given her control over family planning.
