UNITED STATES—On Thursday, January 28, President Joe Biden signed a memorandum rescinding the Mexico City Policy signed into law by former President Donald Trump.
The law prevented taxpayer funds to be used by establishments that counseled on, referred, or performed abortions in the U.S. and abroad.
According to the memorandum, federal funds will now be used to fund abortions in the U.S. and overseas. The details may be found in section 2 of the Memorandum which reads:
Sec. 2.
Sec. 2.
(e.) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in a timely and appropriate manner, shall withdraw co-sponsorship and signature from the Geneva Consensus Declaration and notify other co-sponsors and signatories to the Declaration and other appropriate parties of the United States’ Withdrawal.
