On January 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive action reinstating the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits U.S. funding for international organizations that provide or promote abortion services. This decision is seen as a significant victory for anti-abortion advocates.
The White House announced the reinstatement on the same day as the annual March for Life event held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The March for Life is a prominent gathering for opponents of abortion rights. During the event, Trump addressed attendees via video message, while Vice President JD Vance participated in person.
