Just spotted this and it looks like another attempt at backdoor policy making or indeed policy dismantling. Not sure but think the speaker is at a Lancet conference.

I am not sure I understand this. What is happening?

References to women’s sexual and reproductive health needs in conflict (eg rape, unwanted pregnancy, treatment for trauma) is seen as condoning abortion by the Trump administration. Article is by the speaker referenced in Richard Horton’s tweet.

Advance apologies if it’s about something else but this is worth highlighting in Feminist Chat anyway.

It's about removing language around reproductive health - so that abortion is not related to reproductive health care.
