President Trump just signed three executive orders– one withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, one imposing a federal government employee hiring freeze (except for the military) and one reinstating the Mexico City abortion rules.

The final executive order basically prevents federal funds from going to international organizations that provide or promote abortion services. It requires foreign nongovernmental organizations to “certify that they will not perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning using funds generated from any source as a condition for receiving USAID family planning assistance.” It was originally signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and rescinded by Bill Clinton. George W. Bush reinstated it, only to have it rescinded again by Obama. Until now, that is.
Trump’s move basically defunds the International Planned Parenthood Federation, which means feminist heads are currently exploding. I love it.
