Statement of policy

It is the policy of the United States Government— (1) to recognize that access to safe abortion is a critical component of comprehensive maternal and reproductive health care and should be included as part of foreign assistance programs funded by the United States Government; (2) to make reproductive health care, including family planning, and safe abortion widely available and integrated with other types of health care; and (3) to work to end unsafe abortion and promote safe abortion services by providing funding and collaborating with affected governments and service providers to provide training, commodities, equipment, and access to safe abortion services.
