'Population control' is a violently racist, oppressive part of US history. Global support for parents' health and agency must be our future.
For many US residents, it's still difficult to access or afford simple family planning tools, from condoms and 'morning after' pills to long-term birth control, and increasingly difficult to find and afford abortion services, which the earlier tools are meant to preempt. The same is true around the world.
Practically speaking, not one of us can decide what goes into the air we breathe and water we drink, how our garbage gets generated and disposed of, what education and employment opportunities we have access to, or how much the things we need to survive will cost.ly speaking, those decisions are being made by governments as led by elected officials or by corporations and private capital.
Yet for just over half of the people on Earth, as well as their families, the ability to make some of life's most important decisions toward their role in this future is partially or wholly withheld—often with vastly different rules and consequences depending on where they live—long before the potential for new life within their bodies would be capable of entering this world.
