Petition to the Government of Canada
- The U.S. recently reinstated what's known as the Mexico City Policy or the Global Gag Rule - a rule that prevents international NGOs from receiving USAID if they provide family planning or abortion services; and
- According to Marie Stopes International, a major global family planning organization, this loss of funding will mean cause 6.5 million unintended pregnancies, 2.2 million abortions, 2.1 million unsafe abortions, and 21,700 maternal deaths from 2017 to 2020.
