## Resource

The U.S. is tightening its grip on global abortion access, cutting off billions in aid to organizations that support reproductive health overseas — with devastating consequences across Africa. As maternal deaths and unsafe abortions soar, American restrictions are fueling harassment of clinics, forcing women into dangerous procedures, and undermining international agreements like the Maputo Protocol. With U.S. anti-abortion groups pouring millions into African nations, the ideological clash is escalating — turning policy into peril for women seeking care.
