(CNS News) On Jan. 28, Democratic President Joe Biden signed an executive order that rescinds the Mexico City Policy and the Promoting Life in Global Health policy, both of which prevented federal funds from going to groups that promote and provide abortions overseas. Bishops with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) condemned Biden s actions as furthering the destruction of human lives in developing nations.

“It is grievous that one of President Biden’s first official acts actively promotes the destruction of human lives in developing nations, said Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, chairman of the USCCB s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop David J. Malloy, chairman of the Committee on International Justice and Peace.

US President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Thursday which reverses a ban on federal funds for organizations that promote and provide abortions in developing nations.
His order cancelled the so-called Mexico City Policy also known as the Promoting Life in Global Health Policy.
It barred the use of taxpayer funds from going to organizations which perform abortions, offer abortion counseling, or advocate for so-called ‘abortion rights’.
First enacted by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, the policy has previously been cancelled twice by Democratic presidents and renewed twice by Republican ones.
Bishops ‘strongly oppose’ the move
In response, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the United States (USCCB) released a statement lamenting the executive order.
