I just hope they don't use the Republican/GOP/USA government middle-men to handle any of the money or any direct US government organizations.

They can't be trusted and think they're doing God's work by stealing/mismanaging the money.

I think it would be an easy call to make that the countries talking would know better than to trust the USA with the money considering who the people currently running the henhouse are.

A comprehensive global study of abortion has concluded that abortion rates are similar in countries where it is legal and those where it is not, suggesting that outlawing the procedure does little to deter women seeking it.

”We now have a global picture of induced abortion in the world, covering both countries where it is legal and countries where laws are very restrictive," Dr. Paul Van Look, director of the W.H.O. Department of Reproductive Health and Research, said in a telephone interview. ”What we see is that the law does not influence a woman's decision to have an abortion. If there's an unplanned pregnancy, it does not matter if the law is restrictive or liberal."

But the legal status of abortion did greatly affect the dangers involved, the researchers said. ”Generally, where abortion is legal it will be provided in a safe manner," Dr. Van Look said. ”And the opposite is also true: where it is illegal, it is likely to be unsafe, performed under unsafe conditions by poorly trained providers."

Moreover, the factors that actually lead to the most significant reduction in abortions is access to sex education and contraceptives.

Furthermore, one of the overarching contributors to the abortion rate decline is a consistent decrease in teen pregnancies. The combination of improved access to contraception and comprehensive sex education are two crucial pieces to continuing this trend. When young people are given factual resources on sex and reducing the risk of unintended pregnancies, they are better prepared to make informed decisions.

So it's REAL fucking funny how the same people so very concerned with how many fetuses are getting aborted are the same people trying to limit access to both contraceptives and sex education.

Don't know if it was already mentioned, but to add to what you said, a clear result of Texas' burdensome abortion facility restrictions was that the incidence of attempted home abortions increased drastically.

A Texas law aimed at restricting abortions, which took effect in 2013, has led to more women trying to end a pregnancy on their own, while the number of clinical procedures in the state has declined, according to a study released on Tuesday.

The study showed that poor women bear the brunt of the law.

"Poverty, limited resources, and local facility closures limited women's ability to obtain abortion care in a clinic setting and were key factors in deciding to attempt abortion self-induction," the Texas Policy Evaluation Project found.

The study estimated that between 100,000 and 240,000 women aged 18 to 49 in Texas have tried to self-induce abortion since the law went into effect, using such methods as herbs, teas and medications obtained in Mexico without prescription.

Now just picture that on a national scale, and with people resorting to far more drastic measures than just drugs. It'll make Kermit Gosnell look like a respectable physician.

Just to update, it looks like Canada's Minister for International Development confirmed that they will be increasing the amount for Women's Reproductive health in the budget. An update from the article in the OP where it was still under discussion

20 countries outside the US care more about the women of this country than half our own population and government.

What a sad state we are in.

The minister in question actually belongs to a European conservative coalition.

yes but European conservative is basically 'Obama and the democrats' levels of conservative compared to hardcore conservatives like american republicans.

​"Canada's intention is to advance a strong women empowerment agenda," Bibeau said in a statement provided by her office on Thursday. "This will include an increase in investments to support advocacy work for women's reproductive rights and for the provision of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, including safe abortion, where legal and post-abortion care."

Damn... such a stark contrast to what is brewing to the south.
