The dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and cuts to many other areas of foreign assistance during the second Trump administration have left many sectors scrambling to adapt. They include family planning and “reproductive health” organizations—many of which promote abortion overseas. These groups are accustomed to funding cuts under Republican administrations and have perfected the arguments in favor of restoring their funding. This Definitions examines these claims and demonstrates that the more one examines their statistics, the weaker their arguments become. While people of good will can argue over what level and type of foreign assistance the U.S. should provide, U.S. family planning funding deserves to be subjected to particular scrutiny—both because of its misleading use of statistics and because it serves as a pipeline to the global abortion lobby.
