On Friday, Trump overturned settings that protected abortion in the United States. Trump also draws funding from organizations that provide abortion advice abroad.
US president Donald Trump During its first week of work, it has taken action that makes it difficult to obtain abortion in both the United States and abroad.
Trump overturned two predecessors yesterday on Friday Joe Biden regulations designed to protect the abortion in the United States.
Biden had set up regulations after the US Supreme Court overturned the so -called Roe against the Wade Advance Decision in the summer of 2022. Until then, the decision had ensured the right of abortion at the federal level.
Since the decision, at least 20 states have restricted the right of abortion.
Biden’s regulations concerned, among other things, access to so -called abortion pills, moving abortion clinics, and supporting travel to another state to get abortion. These settings Trump now canceled.
On Monday, Trump has first made a large number of other regulations to change the United States and repeal his predecessor’s political heritage.
The “mouthpiece ‘rule will take effect again
On Friday, Trump also banned US funding to foreign organizations that are in contact with abortion counseling.
Opponents say the prohibition as a “Global Gag Rule). For the first time it was introduced by the Republican President Ronald Reagan In 1984. Since then, the practice has always been in force during Republican Presidents, while democratic presidents have overturned the ban.
The ban on financing applies to organizations that provide women with abortions or related advice in different countries. In practice, funding is at the same time staunch from many other health services, as the same organizations usually provide, for example, contraceptive counseling and health examinations in developing countries.
They may not even talk about abortions everywhere, as in many countries the provision of legal abortion is strictly restricted.
The ban on financing has not necessarily acted as a manner desired by the determinants. Studies have shown that abortions and unwanted pregnancies have increased during the validity of the prohibition, says an expert at Center for Global Development Jane’s Madan Keller For Reuters news agency.
This is due to the fact that the United States is a major financier for reproductive health services in many developing countries. The cutting of services has resulted in unwanted pregnancies that may have ended up in an abortion hazardous to health.
Foreign minister Marco Rubio On Friday, the United States will also return to the declaration called the Geneva Consensus. The Declaration was the initiative of Trump’s first season, which now includes more than 35 countries. According to the declaration There is no international right to abortion, and countries are not obliged to finance or promote it.
During Biden’s term, the United States withdrew from the declaration. The US Department of Foreign Affairs said on Friday that one of the declaration’s goals is to “protect life at all stages”.
“More babies to the United States”
On Friday, Trump talked to Washington about the March for Life demonstration against abortion. In a pre -recorded video message, Trump said he had mercy on abortion opponents who have been convicted during the Biden administration.
“In the United States, religious persecution will never be allowed again,” Trump said.
Trump had a total of 23 abortion opponents on Thursday. The White House did not tell more about the mercy or their judgments. Inter alia According to the Washington Post magazine The protesters had been convicted of preventing access to abortion clinics.
Also in the Washington demonstration on the spot who spoke on the spot JD VANCE The message was that in the United States no longer prosecuted anti -abortion activists would be prosecuted.
According to Vance, Trump will be “our lifetime of US presidents the most family-friendly and most pro-life”.
The English term Pro-Life generally refers to a movement emphasizing the rights of an unborn child. The term is used when it comes to abortion opponents, and in contrast to the pro-choice movement defending abortion and a woman’s self-determination.
According to Vance, the United States is rooted in a “culture of radical individualism”, where the responsibilities and joys of family life are seen as obstacles instead of seeing them as a personal fulfillment or blessing. Vamce said he wanted more babies in the United States.
“This administration stands with you, we stand by you and most importantly, we stand on the most vulnerable side,” Vance said.
