Prioritize global reproductive rights: Repeal Global Gag Rule
1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
The reimposition of the Global Gag Rule by President Trump is a severe setback for reproductive rights and health care access worldwide. This policy dangerously restricts international NGOs from providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services, even if using their own private funding. By prohibiting counseling, referrals, or advocacy related to abortion, it compromises healthcare providers' ability to fully inform patients and undermines their right to make informed decisions about their own bodies. This rule threatens to reverse decades of progress in reducing unintended pregnancies and maternal mortality rates in developing nations. Given the detrimental impacts on global health and bodily autonomy, I urge you to take immediate action to permanently repeal the Global Gag Rule. This policy is an unethical overreach that sacrifices human lives and rights under the guise of an ideological stance on abortion. As a leader, you have a responsibility to prioritize evidence-based public health policies and protect human rights over political agendas. The Global Gag Rule exports an extremist view that has no place in shaping humanitarian aid efforts. Its reinstatement jeopardizes the wellbeing of vulnerable populations worldwide. I implore you to stand for reproductive freedom and permanently end this destructive policy.
