Description 

Mounting evidence contradicts U.S. government claims that the Mexico City Policy, or Global Gag Rule, has little effect on family planning and related services or on advocacy for reform of restrictive abortion laws. This fact sheet developed jointly by Ipas and the Center for Reproductive Rights draws on new data sources that document the policy's damaging effects and shows it to be both dangerous and anti-democratic.
