U.S. State Department's $33.6 Billion Budget Request Would End Family Planning and Reproductive Health Activities

The U.S. State Department's fiscal year 2027 budget request totals $33.6 billion. Its congressional justification, a document explaining the request to lawmakers, states the budget would end family planning and reproductive health care activities. Family planning covers programs helping people decide whether and when to have children. Congress must consider the request before any funds are set aside.
