U.S. State Department to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives due to anti-abortion policy.
The U.S. State Department plans to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives intended for distribution in poor countries, primarily in Africa, due to the Mexico City Policy, which restricts aid to organizations that provide abortion services.
The contraceptives, including 2 million injectables, 900,000 implantable devices, and over 2 million oral packets, will be destroyed at a cost of $167,000.
Despite bipartisan opposition from Congress and offers from humanitarian groups to repurpose the supplies, the decision stands, with officials citing policy compliance concerns.
