Monday, Donald Trump put the “Mexico City Policy” back into effect after Obama rescinded it eight years ago. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Mexico City Policy (MCP) “requires foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to certify that they will not ‘perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning,’ using funds from any source (including non-U.S. funds), as a condition for receiving U.S. government global family planning assistance.”
The MCP was put in place by Ronald Reagan in 1984 in Mexico City during the second International Conference on Population. It was reversed by President Clinton in 1993, then reinstated by President Bush in 2001, then reversed once again by President Obama in 2009.
