Namuhla abaphathi bakaTrump bakhiphe umthetho omusha ozoba nomthelela omkhulu ekufinyeleleni kwabesifazane ekulawuleni inzalo e-United States. Umyalelo omusha, owaputshuzwa okokuqala ngoMeyi, unikeza abaqashi ithuba lokukhetha hhayi ukufaka ukuvimbela inzalo ezinhlelweni zabo zomshuwalense wezempilo nganoma yisiphi isizathu senkolo noma sokuziphatha. Ngenxa yalokhu, izobuyisela emuva imfuneko ye-Affordable Care Act (ACA) eqinisekisa ukutholakala kokulawulwa kokuzalwa okugunyazwe yi-FDA kwabesifazane abayizigidi ezingama-55 mahhala.

Ukuba nezinhlelo zomshwalense ezibhekelele ukulawulwa kokuzalwa kubeka "umthwalo omkhulu" ekusebenziseni inkolo mahhala okuqinisekiswe uMthethosisekelo wase-US, abaphathi bakaTrump batshele izintatheli esitatimendeni ngoLwesine ebusuku. Bangeze nokuthi ukunikezwa kokufinyelela mahhala ekulawuleni ukubeletha kungakhuthaza "isimilo esiyingozi kwezocansi" phakathi kwentsha, futhi banethemba lokuthi lesi sinqumo siyasiza ekuqedeni lokho.

"Akekho umMelika okufanele aphoqwe ukuthi ephule unembeza wakhe ukuze athobele imithetho nemithethonqubo elawula uhlelo lwethu lokunakekelwa kwezempilo," kusho uCaitlin Oakley, unobhala wezindaba woMnyango Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu e-US, esitatimendeni.

I-ACA ibe ngeyokuqala eyalela ukuthi abaqashi abenza inzuzo kumele bahlanganise uhla oluphelele lwezinto zokuvimbela inzalo, kufaka phakathi iPilisi, i-Plan B (iphilisi elilandelwa ekuseni) nedivayisi ye-intrauterine (IUD), ngaphandle kwezindleko ezengeziwe kwabesifazane. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi iye yatuswa ngokuletha amazinga okukhulelwa okungahleliwe ephansi kakhulu, futhi ibe nomthelela ezingeni eliphansi kakhulu lokukhishwa kwezisu kusukela ngo-Roe v. Wade emuva ngo-1973, konke ngenxa yokuhlinzeka ngokufinyelela okungcono ekulawuleni inzalo.

Manje, ngokusekelwe kulo mthetho omusha, izinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo, amafemu ezizimele, nezinkampani ezihweba esidlangalaleni zinelungelo lokuphuma ekufakeni imali ezinhlelweni zazo zomshwalense wezempilo ngokusekelwe ezizatho zokuziphatha noma ezisekelwe enkolweni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inkampani noma isikhungo singokwenkolo imvelo uqobo (isib. isonto noma enye indlu yokukhonzela). Lokhu kuzophoqa abesifazane base-United States ukuthi baphinde bakhokhele ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okuyisisekelo ephaketheni uma umqashi wabo ezizwa engakhululekile ngokukunikeza. (Ulungele ezinye izindaba ezimbi? Abesifazane abaningi bakhipha izisu ze-DIY.)

UMengameli we-Planed Parenthood, uCecile Richards, usigxekile lesi sinqumo. "Abaphathi bakaTrump bavele bathatha inhloso ngqo ekuhlinzekweni kokulawulwa kokuzalwa," kusho uRichards ngesikhathi ekhipha abezindaba. "Lokhu ukuhlaselwa okungamukeleki ekunakekelweni kwezempilo okuyisisekelo iningi labesifazane elithembele kukho."

Izikhulu eziphezulu zezeMpilo kanye noMnyango wezeMpilo zithi balinganiselwa ku-120 000 abesifazane abazothinteka, kanti u-99.9% wabesifazane usengakwazi ukuthola ukulawulwa kwamahhala ngomshwalense wabo, kubika i Washington Post. Lezi zibalo zibikwa zisekelwe kumankampani asuke emangalele ngokuphoqwa ukubhadala imali yokubeletha.

Kodwa iCentre for American Progress (CAP) ikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kubuyiselwa emuva kokuhlanganisa kungavula "amasango ezikhukhula" kuye "cishe noma yimuphi umqashi wangasese wenqaba ukumboza ezokuzalwa." Kuzo zonke izinkampani ezicela ukukhululwa ekunikezeni izinhlelo zokuvimbela inzalo, u-53% ube yizikhungo zokwenza inzuzo kodwa manje ezingaphika ukuhlinzekwa, leli qembu labika ngo-Agasti.

"Le mininingwane iyisigaxa esincane salabo abafuna ilungelo lokwenqaba ukubikelwa, kepha bakhombisa ukuthi le mpikiswano ayikho mayelana nezindlu zokukhulekela noma izinhlangano zezenkolo ezifuna indawo yokuhlala," kusho uDev's Kearns we-CAP esitatimendeni esitholwe ngu USA Namuhla. "Ukuguqulwa komthetho kuzokwenza ukuthi izinkampani ezenza inzuzo ezingaphezulu zikwazi ukwenza ukuthi kube nzima kakhulu ukuthola ukulawulwa kokuzalwa."

Okwamanje, ama-ob-gyns awanathemba lokuthi kuzosho ukuthini ngabesifazane uma abaphathi bakaTrump beqhubeka nokuhlasela amalungelo ezempilo futhi benza izinto njengokuzama ukuphoqa uParenthood Parenthood ngaphandle kwebhizinisi. Lezi zenzo zingaholela ekukhuleni kokukhulelwa kwentsha, ukukhipha izisu ngokungemthetho, izifo ezithathelwana ngokocansi kanye nokufa kwabantu ngenxa yezifo ezingavikeleka, ingasaphathwa eyomthelela ekuntulekeni okukhulu kakade kokunakekelwa kwekhwalithi kwabesifazane abahola kancane.
