About the bill
In one of his first actions as president, President Trump signed an executive order banning U.S. funding for abortions performed or promoted overseas. The rule prevents any federal money from going towards any global health charity or non-governmental organization (NGO) performing abortions, even if that’s only a small portion of their services. It even bans the money for organizations that merely promote or discuss abortions.
This reverses the Obama-era rule which allowed such funding. Democrats in Congress introduced legislation that would bring the Obama-era rule back.
