"On Friday, the Trump administration is expected to announce an expansion of the Mexico City policy that restricts federal health aid dollars from funding abortion-related services. The new policy will apply to all foreign assistance, not just health aid, and include anti-DEI and "gender ideology" provisions."
"Advocates worry it could push national governments to enact stricter anti-abortion policies."
On Friday the Trump administration is expected to expand the Mexico City policy to restrict federal funding for abortion-related services. The expansion will extend the policy beyond health aid to encompass all foreign assistance. The policy will include provisions aimed at restricting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and opposing what is characterized as "gender ideology." The change could create pressure on recipient governments to adopt more restrictive anti-abortion laws. Programs and clinics that rely on U.S. assistance may face funding cuts, potentially reducing access to contraception, maternal care, and broader reproductive health services.
