The Mexico City Policy prevents government funds from going to supporting foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that actively promote or perform abortions in foreign nations, such as International Planned Parenthood.
President Ronald Reagan first instituted this policy in 1984, but Democrat Presidents, namely Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, have rescinded it when they are in office. On January 23, 2017, soon after taking office, Donald Trump signed an order reinstating the policy.[1][2] However, unlike previous administrations, the Trump Administration expanded the policy to include all global health assistance funding.[3]
On May 15, 2017, the Trump Administration massively broadened the scope of the Mexico City Policy to include any international health organization that performs or gives information about abortions, expanding the amount of money affected from $600,000 to nearly $9 billion.[4][5]
