President Donald Trump Expands Executive Order Defunding International Planned Parenthood

President Donald Trump took another step to defund the abortion industry Monday through a new proposed rule to expand the Mexico City Policy.

The pro-life policy has been in place during Republican presidential administrations since Ronald Reagan, defunding the International Planned Parenthood Federation and other abortion groups of hundreds of millions of tax dollars.

But Trump has done more to protect life than other Republican presidents. In 2017, he expanded the policy to cut off more streams of revenue to international non-governmental agencies (NGOs) that promote and/or provide abortions. The rule defunded Planned Parenthood’s international arm of about $100 million and the British abortion chain Marie Stopes International of about $73 million in U.S. tax dollars.

The new proposed rule could lead to even more cuts to pro-abortion groups.

Released Monday in the Federal Register, it would require all groups that receive global health aid contracts to agree not to promote and/or provide elective abortions, The Hill reports. Those that refuse would not receive taxpayer funding.

According to the Catholic News Agency, the proposal expands the Mexico City Policy to include military and government contracts overseas.

More WIN...making Infanticide a federal crime next.

Infanticide is the intentional killing of infants. Now universally illegal, infanticide was a widespread practice throughout human history that was mainly used to dispose of unwanted children. Purposes were controlling population growth and saving resources from being spent on weak or disabled offspring.Wikipedia

In recent time was in support and with the connivance of the democrats and main stream media in support of their ungodly policies.

works for me

their bodies, their choice, not my money

if they want everyone out of their choice, they better not expect everyone to pay for their choice

with freedom to choose comes personal responsibility, and the bill for it

why should others pay for ending someone elses irresponsible behavior and unwanted pregnancy? when these very same people claim to be adults, and its no one elses business and to stsy out of their sex life

but they think they are entitled to go into our collective wallets and pay for this?

Has President Trump defunded the US Planned Parenthood? The article seems to be about International PP only, with no mention of US.

They should also be required to provide documented permission from the Father of the Child to kill their offspring. If he refuses she will be killing His Child against his will. At the very least, in that case, she should be forced to pay damages to the father for the destruction of his child, and pain and suffering inflicted on the father as well as the child.

Well, considering this one move cuts off $170MM from only two NGOs, all I can tell you is - a LOT.
