Trump Admin Plans to Burn Around $10M Worth of Contraceptives Meant for Aid
The Trump administration is planning to burn almost $10 million worth of contraceptives that were supposed to be sent to people in low-income countries. The Independent reported on July 29 that the contraceptives, which were being stored in a warehouse in Belgium, were on their way to France to be burned. Destroying the contraceptives will reportedly cost U.S. taxpayers over $160,000.

Emergency contraception is often confused with abortion pills – here’s how they work:
There are two types of emergency contraception pills. The most widely known is levonorgestrel, which is sold in the U.S. under the brand name Plan B, along with numerous generic versions. The second type of emergency contraception pill is ulipristal acetate, which is sold under the brand name ella. Both Plan B and ella work by delaying ovulation.https://bit.ly/3A8JxkG #emergencycontraception #contraception
