Keep the Glogal Gag Rule repealed!
In a world dying from overpopulation, NOTHING is more urgent than ensuring every woman and girl on the planet has access to education and contraceptives, which in the win-win-win bargain, prevents abortion.
Why is this important?
First put in place from 1985 to 1993, the Mexico City Policy (Global Gag Rule) stipulates that nongovernmental organizations receiving U.S. assistance cannot use separately obtained non-U.S. funds to inform the public or educate their government on the need to make safe abortion available, provide legal abortion services, or provide advice on where to get an abortion. The policy did allow for exemptions in the cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother, but not for a woman’s physical or mental health.
