Pompeo expands policy to cut abortion funding abroad

President Trump is denying taxpayer funding to foreign nonprofits “that give financial support to other foreign groups in the global abortion industry” and cutting aid to a key regional organization, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Tuesday.

“We will enforce a strict prohibition on backdoor funding schemes and end-runs around our policy,” Pompeo told reporters at the State Department. “American taxpayer dollars will not be used to underwrite abortions.”
