Mike Pompeo now EXPANDING Mexico City policy to prevent even more global abortions!
In Pompeo' announcement on the changes to the so-called Mexico City policy, he said that the U.S. has extended the ban to include organizations that comply with the rule but give money to others that don’t – adding that the Trump administration will not allow American taxpayer money to pay for “back-door funding schemes and end runarounds to our policy.”
“This administration has shown we can meet critical health care goals while refusing to subsidize the killing of unborn babies,” Pompeo said. “As result of my decision, we will refuse to provide support to NGOs who provide funds to other organizations that promote abortion."
As of this announcement, these same foreign NGOs can now no longer fund other organizations that provide these abortion services.
Here’s the announcements I found on Twitter:
.@SecPompeo announces expansion to Mexico City policy: US now won't assist NGOs that fund third parties that provide abortions. And Pompeo announces US will reduce contributions to @OAS_official, prohibit US funds to OAS-related groups that advocate for or against abortion— Nick Schifrin (@nickschifrin) March 26, 2019
.@SecPompeo announces further restrictions in line with the Mexico City Policy, saying that the US will refuse to provide assistance to foreign NGOs that give financial support to other foreign NGOs "who perform or actively promote abortion"— Jennifer Hansler (@jmhansler) March 26, 2019
Just now: @SecPompeo announces expanded Mexico City policy says "this Administration has shown that we can continue to meet our global health goals while refusing to subsidize the killing of unborn babies."— Philip Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) March 26, 2019
Any position the Trump administration can take to dismantle the global abortion industry will no doubt save lives. This is fantastic news and I’m glad Pompeo, a Christian, is leading Trump’s state department.BREAKING: The US State Department is expanding the Mexico City Policy to further ensures taxpayer dollars are not:— Live Action (@LiveAction) March 26, 2019
- Given to foreign NGOs that perform/promote abortion
- OR foreign NGOs that give support to NGOs who perform/promote abortion
Thank you, @SecPompeo!
You see Mike Pompeo making the Mexico City policy even stricter. This means more limits on global groups that talk about or support abortion. You may feel this change will impact many people who need clear health support.
