We also must look at the implications of this decision for women in the U.S. as well. The State Department has labeled the hormonal birth control pills and IUDs in the shipment as "abortifacient birth control commodities." This decision is not only a massive waste of resources, an act with severe humanitarian consequences for countries that desperately need these supplies, but also threatens access to birth control for American in the U.S.

Women have the power. Deny sex to any man who votes against reproductive rights.

The sane people of the world (women) need to take over that supply and distribute it as intended!

It was all a lie.

The contraceptives are still in the warehouse.

The article notes that the items have not been destroyed yet. However, what will happen to them has not been settled.

"Yet, as of this writing, those products remain in place, unopened, not because of a change of heart, but because Belgian officials have blocked the incineration, citing local laws that prohibit the destruction of viable medical supplies. That delay, not diplomacy, is what’s keeping these goods from the furnace."
