The grant, issued by the National Health Institutes, funded a two -year project to help doctors early in studying the relationship between the violence of the intimate partner and pregnancy. He was granted in September, and was aimed at creating a training program worldwide to enable researchers and doctors to better assess the relationship. It also included a guidance program to support “investigators who were represented early in an incomplete”.
Trump publicly did not publicly comment on the reason for his administration to cut research that could save the lives of pregnant women. However, this is the same man whose policies (And personal historyHe made it clear that he does not care honestly for women, especially When it comes to reproductive rights.
