The global gag rule, which prevents non-governmental organizations who receive U.S. global health funding from providing, counseling on, referring for, or advocating for abortion in their own country and using their own, private resources, has been reinstated by President Trump. Lori Adelman, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Global, and Caitlin Horrigan, Senior Director of Global Advocacy at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, sits down to talk with us about what the expanded global gag rule is, what it means for health practitioners and patients abroad, and how it can be repealed.When the global gag rule is in place, there is a deep disrupting in health service delivery, bolstering an anti-human rights agenda globally, undermining trust in medical providers, and weakening civil society allies. Communities have less access to centralized, essential care, which can force people to turn to unsafe methods of abortion. Thankfully, there are policy solutions. The Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights Act (Global HER Act), which was reintroduced this week, would take away presidential power to reinstate the global gag rule. <a rel="payment" href="https://www.reprosfightback.com/take-action#donate">Support the show</a>Follow Us on Social: Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/rePROsFightBack'>@rePROsFightBack</a> Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/reprosfb/'>@reprosfb</a> Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/rePROsFightBack'>rePROs Fight Back </a> Bluesky: <a href='https://bsky.app/profile/reprosfightback.bsky.social'>@reprosfightback.bsky.social </a> Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.com <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/repros-fight-back/id1327397412'>Rate and Review on Apple Podcast</a> Thanks for listening & keep fighting back!
