Trump Expands Order Banning U.S. Funds for Overseas Abortion

[Swordsmyth]

As reported by LifeNews.com, the executive order signed by Trump on January 23 “stops taxpayer funding of groups that perform and promote abortions overseas, but does not stop non-abortion international assistance. The order ensures U.S. foreign aid will continue to go to health care and humanitarian relief.... It just will not subsidize abortion overseas.”
Following up on that executive order, on May 15 the Trump administration announced a major expansion of the Mexico City Policy, increasing the ban from roughly $600 million in family planning money to encompass all U.S. international health care, which amounts to nearly $9 billion. The administration said that under the expanded order, called officially the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance plan, the same amount of funding would still be available globally, but would only go to groups that promise not to perform abortions as part of their “family planning” strategies.

While this is a obvious improvement it is still the fedgov sending money to places it has no business or authority to.

In a press release the Trump administration said that the U.S. “remains deeply committed to supporting health programs around the world. Foreign NGOs that agree not to perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning will remain eligible to receive global health assistance through the standard U.S. Government processes that govern the award of federal funds.”

You see, we don't borrow money to give Israel for abortions instead we borrow money and give to Israel for xxx so they can have more money for abortions. That is how they get away with helping fund abortions

Doesn't matter. The bit in quotes in the op, "stops taxpayer funding of groups that perform and promote abortions overseas, but does not stop non-abortion international assistance"

Same group, Israeli govt doing both. plus his VP Pence is on record using the fungibility argument when he was in the senate.
