President Donald Trump signed an order ending funding for overseas nongovernmental organizations that provide abortions or that promote and advocate for the killing of unborn humans.
He did so on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, put into law by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 and overturned in 2022, also by the Supreme Court, which stated that the laws on abortion are the responsibilities of individual states, not the federal government. There is no federal right to an abortion.
Federal law — the Hyde Amendment — does not permit use of taxpayer dollars to support abortion services in other countries, but abortion groups have worked around that by using federal dollars to advocate for abortions and advise women how to get them. Running on U.S. taxpayer dollars, they can then free up other money to pay for the abortions.
The policy is one that changes depending on whether Democrats or Republicans are in power. President Ronald Reagan enacted such a ban on the use of taxpayer dollars overseas, but Democrat presidents, including Joe Biden, have reversed that ban. Trump once again put it in place on his fourth day in office.
Opponents refer to it as the Mexico City Policy. The rule applies not only to organizations that receive U.S. taxpayer dollars but to the groups they work with that provide the abortions. The people of America, for the next four years, won’t be paying for the advocacy of abortion in other countries.
The United States is by far the largest funder of global health services and so-called family planning services. Of the over $15 billion U.S. taxpayers spend on overseas health programs, nearly $700 million is spent on “family planning.”
On Thursday, Trump pardoned several anti-abortion activists, including a Catholic priest, who protested and prayed at the entrances of abortion clinics.
Trump said it was “a great honor to sign this. They should not have been prosecuted.”
Our country is broke, why does our government continue spending over $15 billion annually on overseas “health” services?
Why would abortion be included in the health services spending category? It’s simply paying for 3rd party contractors to murder children. Combine that with the rampant use of sanctions that result in starving children in foreign countries, (we killed over a half million Iraqi children in this manner), and it becomes clear how depraved the US has become.
“Overseas nongovernmental organizations” or NGOs, are involved in a multitude of nefarious activities, including providing the logistics and transportation services to facilitate the migration of tens of millions of unvetted aliens into our country.
The interests that operate these NGOs own Washington. God bless Trump in his efforts to end these practises.
When can we stop calling it abortion, and call it murder? I am not advocating prison terms for mothers who murder their children. I want to see some integrity restored to our language when it comes to what words actually mean. There are some of you that believe the term Progressive is not a pejorative.
He needs to block 90% of free stuff as American taxpayers can’t feed the world.
What a great achievement! Wake up, world and know that millions of people and our leaders can be grateful that the “slaughter of the innocents” won’t be tolerated in this presidency!! Thank God for His blessings.
It would have been great if someone had handed Trump a few photos of a few of the “criminals” he just pardoned from prison for praying or standing in front of an abortion clinic. “THESE people are what your elected folks have viewed as such a threat to our freedom that they must be locked up,” and showed the camera a photo of a man with his family, an elderly grandma, a 20-year-old girl, etc.
If other countries want to allow for abortion, they can pay for abortions.
Excellent news. Keep slashing Mr president.
No wonder Lisa is mad at him. Cheers –
You can bet this has Murkowski perturbed, but she is saving up her righteous indignation for the effort she is going to be putting into making certain that Kash Patel never makes it to the point where he can launch an election fraud investigation. Anticipate her going hard on it, and another love letter from her to us, whom she cares so much about.
Gov. Dunleavy once bragged that he wanted Alaska to be the most pro-life state, but of course it was just his typical bluster. The Alaska Supreme Court erred when it ruled that abortions can be paid for with public funds, and USSC ruling overturning Roe v Wade gave Dunleavy opportunity to overturn it by executive order if he had any integrity.
It would have been particularly easy since he owns the AKSC.

How’s about we send them those red flying nun outfits?
