The U.S. is destroying $9.7 million in contraceptives. Is there another option?
The United States has announced plans to incinerate $9.7 million in contraceptives intended for distribution in lower-income countries. Here, Chiedza Emmanuel, 20, waits to undergo a contraceptive implant procedure at a clinic in Zimbabwe.

This planned destruction of birth control devices is part of the dismantling of USAID services — and is linked to allegations by the government that cite abortion. Critics are speaking out.
