What the document says

“the next conservative Administration should issue an executive order that, at a minimum, reinstates PLGHA and summarily blocks funding to UNFPA”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 261

Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance, known as the Mexico City Policy, bars US global health funding to foreign organizations that perform or promote abortion. The chapter asks for it to be reinstated, widened to all foreign assistance including humanitarian aid, extended to subgrantees and subcontractors, with exemptions for US-based NGOs and international organizations removed, compliance reported, and debarment as a penalty. It also asks that the Biden memorandum of 28 January 2021 be rescinded.

What the document actually says

“the next conservative Administration should issue an executive order that, at a minimum, reinstates PLGHA and summarily blocks funding to UNFPA”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 261
That sentence, in plain words

Sign an order bringing back this rule. Also cut money to one United Nations fund.

What this is about

A rule stops US aid going to groups abroad that do abortions. Presidents have turned it on and off. The book wants it back. It wants it to cover more kinds of aid.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
