Mexico City Policy restricts federal funding for abortion services abroad
On January 23, 2017, President Trump signed a memorandum reinstating the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits U.S. federal funding to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform abortion services or provide information about abortion. The policy eliminates funding to international family planning organizations that include abortion in their services, affecting millions of people in developing countries who rely on these organizations for reproductive healthcare, maternal health, and family planning services.
