On January 24, 2025, the Trump administration signed Memorandum 2025-02176 reinstating the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits federal funding to international non-governmental organizations that provide abortion services, counseling, or referrals. The policy immediately rescinds Biden administration guidance that had lifted the restriction in 2021. The confirmed effect is that U.S. foreign aid to global health organizations will be conditioned on their non-involvement in abortion services, reducing funding available to NGOs that currently provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare internationally.
