喀麦隆vs巴西波胆分析 joins a coalition of leading domestic and global organizations spanning women’s rights, health, human rights, reproductive justice, young people, the lgbt community, faith, and development are calling for an end to the incorrect implementation of the helms amendment in order to save women’s lives and protect their wellbeing.

the helms amendment prohibits the use of u.s. foreign assistance funds “to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning.” for more than 40 years, the law has been incorrectly implemented as a complete ban on all abortion-related services. we urge swift action to allow support for abortion care for women who have been raped, who are victims of incest, or who face a life-endangering pregnancy in countries where those services are legally available.

we must eliminate the helms amendment altogether. but until that happens, the very least we should do is eliminate confusion and properly implement the amendment.
