ICYMI: Trump quietly signed a pair of anti-abortion executive orders last night. One restricts funding for global health programs. A study on a past version of the policy found it actually *increased* abortions bc so many women lost access to contraception https://t.co/5VhEVBOBbr
My weekend column explores what Trump's cuts to women's health organizations worldwide (e.g. @unfpa and @MSIchoices) will mean: https://t.co/zkiV8aIbYd .

I want to show the faces of those whose lives are at stake to remind us why this matters.

England haven’t been convincing so far, but without players born outside the UK or with at least 1 parent or grandparent born abroad, we wouldn’t still be here. And today, we’d be down to just 3 players.

Following the reversal of #RoeVsWade, Trump now has his sights set on rolling back reproductive rights globally. If he is re-elected, he is expected to reinstate the Global Gag Rule and expand it further.

“I’ll expect you to feed me, bathe me, brush my hair, hold my hand, recognise me when I have ceased to recognise myself and be the last human touch I may feel before I die.
But I do not think, at the same time, that you deserve a family life.”
