Vice President JD Vance on Friday (January 23) said the Trump administration is expanding the so-called Mexico City Policy, to not only bar US government funding for organizations that perform and promote abortions, but also to those the administration says promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and “gender ideology.”
His announcement came at the annual March for Life rally in Washington, DC, where the vice president sought to allay fears from the anti-abortion movement that the Trump administration has not done enough on the issue.
“We’re going to start blocking every international NGO that performs or promotes abortion abroad from receiving $1 of US money,” Vance said. “Now we’re expanding this policy to protect life, to combat DEI and the radical gender ideologies that prey on our children.”
