Now Taliban outlaws contraception: Birth control medicines and devices branded a 'Western conspiracy'

 Now Taliban outlaws contraception: Birth control medicines and devices branded a 'Western conspiracy' as sales are banned in major cities

    Sources living in several cities told Rukhshana that the Taliban has stopped importing contraceptives, and although they can still be bought in secret from private sellers, their price has skyrocketed as a result.
