Oppose any cuts to international family planning programs

Nearly every two minutes a woman dies of pregnancy-related complications. By simply providing women the tools and education to plan and space their pregnancies, over a third of these deaths can be averted, saving thousands of lives every year.

Stand with women, girls and families around the world by supporting funding for international family programs.

I am a supporter of CARE and I am urging you to oppose any cuts to international family planning programs.

Nearly every two minutes a woman dies of pregnancy-related complications; almost 99% of maternal deaths occur in developing countries. Providing women, couples and families with the tools they need to time and space their pregnancies and plan their families is critical to reducing these deaths.

Today, more than 214 million women around the world who would like to plan their families do not have access the information and services to allow them to time and space pregnancies. If all women with an unmet need for modern contraceptives had access to the services and information they need, maternal deaths would drop by over a third and under-five deaths would decrease by 25 percent -- saving 1.6 million children's lives annually.

For years, the United States has been a leader in providing lifesaving family planning services to vulnerable women, men and families around the world. I urge you to preserve America's historic leadership on this issue and oppose any cuts to these lifesaving interventions.

Please help save the lives of countless women and children by opposing cuts to international family planning programs.

Sincerely,
