In the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, the United Nations has set a goal to reduce maternal mortality to 70 per 100,000 live births. This is going to take governmental and nongovernmental collaboration to happen. While most parties are willing to discuss access to contraception, there is silence surrounding access to safe abortion services. Many agencies are hamstrung by the United States in regards to abortion services due to policies that do not account for issues that many women in low and middle-income countries face. The restrictions do not allow organizations to apply for or receive funding to promote family planning if they also provide abortion services from separately obtained sources. Even more restrictions include a focus on abstinence-only education to receive funding, which limits organizations ability to distribute contraception. The United States should take a leadership role on this issue by discontinuing the limitation of safe abortion access in our country and other countries as they work to address preventable maternal deaths.
