President Trump reinstated the global gag rule, impacting access to safe abortions abroad for countries reliant on U.S. aid. This policy, historically flipped between administrations, prohibits foreign organizations receiving U.S. funding from providing abortion-related services or information. Critics argue it weaponizes foreign assistance against reproductive health initiatives globally. Trump's announcement followed his remarks at the March for Life rally, emphasizing his antiabortion stance, while the health sector braced for disruptions affecting millions of women's health services.
The global gag rule effectively weaponizes U.S. foreign assistance, extending the reach of domestic abortion policies to millions of women relying on U.S. global health funding.
The reinstatement of this policy could interrupt access to safe abortion care and contraception for millions of women in developing countries reliant on U.S. funding.
