  • President Donald Trump revoked former President Joe Biden's orders expanding abortion access and ordered that the federal government and U.S. taxpayers no longer fund abortions at home and abroad Friday.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's signing of two executive orders aimed at restricting taxpayer-funded abortions. One order targets the use of federal funds for abortions within the United States, specifically focusing on the Hyde Amendment which prohibits federal funding for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. The second order extends these restrictions internationally by reinforcing the Mexico City Policy, which prevents foreign NGOs receiving U.S. aid from performing or promoting abortions. These actions reflect Trump's administration's stance on limiting abortion access, both domestically and abroad, and were part of his broader policy to promote what he described as a "culture of life." The orders were met with criticism from pro-choice advocates who argue that such policies restrict women's reproductive rights and could lead to unsafe abortion practices.
