The Netherlands Sets Up Abortion Fund in Challenge to Trump Policy The Dutch government is already making steps to fill the gap that will be left by US President Donald Trump’s “Global Gag Rule,” a federal ban on all funding to international health organizations that administer or discuss abortion. In response, the Netherlands’ development minister Lilianne Ploumen has announced a plan for a new international fund to finance access to birth control and abortion. “Banning abortion doesn’t lead to fewer abortions,” she said in a statement. “It leads to more irresponsible backstreet practices and a higher death rate among mothers.” “We need to compensate for this financial blow as much as possible, with a broad-based fund which governments, businesses and civil society organizations can donate to — so that women can remain in control of their own bodies.” Read More: Trump Targets Women's Healthcare in One of His First Actions As President Read More: March on Ladies, Your Guide to Taking Action After the Women's March The risks posed by the policy are clear. or

Mandel Ngan /AFP/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Mandel Ngan /AFP/Getty Images White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer delivers a statement in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House on Saturday. The Trump Administration spent its first full day in office taking shots at the media and arguing about crowd sizes at Friday's inauguration. Press Secretary Sean Spicer delivered a fiery broadside against the Fourth Estate from the White House Briefing Room Saturday evening, claiming that reporters had engaged in "deliberately false reporting" in the past 24 hours since President Trump took the oath of office. "Photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall," Spicer claimed. However, aerial photographs show that claim is false.

Mr. President, We Don’t Support Your Policy on Refugees Dear President Trump, Around the world, 8 million Global Citizens are proudly citizens of both their nations and the whole world. Four million of us are in the United States of America, and today, we want to convey our deep disappointment and disagreement in your Executive Order on “extreme vetting of refugees." As Global Citizens, we know that opposing viewpoints are a vital part of any robust political discussion. We work with all sides of politics to ensure that governments continue play a leading role in ending extreme poverty. TAKE ACTION: Reverse President Trump’s Executive Order to Ban Refugees However, there are also basic values that we believe are foundational to the fabric of American democracy — like not discriminating on the basis of religion and nationality. You crossed that line through your Executive Order on refugees. Refugees are the most vulnerable fellow citizens on our planet, fleeing unimaginable horrors of conflict, persecution, and disaster. Mr. Mr. Yours sincerely,
4 Hours in Huntington: how the heroin epidemic choked a city HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — He found the woman slumped over the steering wheel, an empty syringe on the floorboard and her skin dulling to a purplish blue. Dave McClure, an EMS supervisor, counted four faint breaths per minute. Without the antidote he carried, she'd be dead in five minutes. It was 3:25 p.m. on what was, so far, an ordinary Monday. For an EMT in this struggling city, bringing an addict back from the brink of opiate-fueled death counts as routine. But as McClure searched for an unscarred vein in the young woman's arm, dozens of others were shooting or snorting the same toxic powder she'd just taken. McClure's radio squawked as he pushed in the IV full of a liquid called naloxone, which blocks the effects of opioids and jolts those overdosing back to life. The woman's eyes blinked open. Red lights on the phone at the 911 dispatch center flashed faster and faster until all 16 lines were screaming. "People are dying everywhere," one caller said. But it didn't stop there.
