The Unprecedented Expansion of the Global Gag Rule: Trampling Rights, Health and Free Speech

Guttmacher Institute "The Trump administration has established a clear pattern of attacking sexual and reproductive health and rights, both in the United States and abroad. It is part of a calculated strategy of going after services and systems that benefit critical populations, including women, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and many others. Although this strategy is designed to support domestic political goals, its impact is felt acutely by individuals around the world. (...) New research from the Guttmacher Institute demonstrates that the expanded global gag rule has already had a detrimental impact on clinical providers, community health workers and critical public health partners around the world."
