    Reproductive justice is the human right to control our bodies, our sexuality, our gender, our work, and our reproduction.

    The Helms Amendment Hurts Millions Worldwide

    The Helms Amendment stipulates that “no foreign assistance funds may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning” abroad and has been in effect since 1973. But the amendment is often overinterpreted as a complete and total ban on U.S. funding for abortion care, even in the most extreme cases and in countries where abortion is legal.
