U.S. Tightens Global Abortion Funding | San Francisco News

The U.S. is tightening its grip on global reproductive health by slashing funding for overseas abortion services, a move spearheaded by Vice President JD Vance that could cut $30 billion in aid. This marks a major victory for domestic anti-abortion groups pushing to reshape international health policy — especially in Africa, where unsafe abortions and maternal deaths are already rampant. With U.S. support now backing conservative nonprofits, the fallout is already visible: healthcare workers face harassment, and activists fear escalating restrictions. Millions in new funding from American anti-abortion charities are fueling efforts to undermine reproductive rights abroad, turning a domestic culture war into a global crisis — with devastating consequences for women and vulnerable communities relying on international aid.
