Surrounded by men, Donald Trump signs an anti-abortion executive order reinstating a policy that would undermine family planning around the world.SOT Sean Spicer, WH press secretary "The president, it's no secret, has made it very clear that he's a pro-life president. He wants to stand up for all Americans including the unborn, and I think the reinstatement of this policy is not just something that echoes that value but respects taxpayer funding as well."US law already bans the use of American taxpayer money for abortion services anywhere, but the Mexico City policy, also known as the Global Gag rule, takes it even further.It freezes federal funding to NGOs in poor countries that advocate abortion, or even just discuss abortion as an option in family planning.Pro-choice advocates have condemned the move, with one group calling it "the beginning of the Trump administration's agenda to punish women everywhere."The head of the UN Foundation also criticised the decision,saying the restrictions jeopardise the health and well-being of the world's most vulnerable girls and women.SOT DLS quote Kathy Calvin « This action will do more than change policy; it will make it more difficult for millions of girls and women to access the contraception and health care they need to determine their futures. Now is the time to build on progress, not reverse it."The policy has gone back and fourth under Republican and Democratic administrations.President Reagan first enacted the rule in 1984.Bill Clinton repealed it, then George Bush re-enacted it, before Barack Obama again lifted the restrictions.
