Brooks N, et al. - Since the implications of the Mexico City Policy for fertility behavior and maternal health were obscure and unclear, the patterns of modern contraception use, pregnancies, and abortion in women in 26 countries in sub-Saharan Africa were assessed in response to the reinstatement and subsequent repeal of the Mexico City Policy across three presidential administrations (William Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama) by the researchers to demonstrate the association among USA aid policy and induced abortion. Abortion rates rose among ladies in countries that were extremely exposed to the policy by 4·8 abortions per 10,000 woman-years relative to women in low-exposure countries and relative to times when the policy was abolished in 1995–2000 and 2009–14, a rise of approximately 40% was observed, when the Mexico City Policy was in effect. While the policy was established, the symmetric decrease in the use of modern contraception by 3·15 percentage points and an elevation in pregnancies by 3·2 percentage points was discovered. Hence, restricting US assistance to family planning organizations, particularly those who acknowledge abortion as a method of family planning, increased abortion predominance in sub-Saharan African countries most influenced by the policy.
