WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, President Donald Trump announced a return to the “Mexico City Policy,” a rule that prohibits taxpayer dollars from going to international organizations that provide abortions.

The announcement comes one day after the 44th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which struck down virtually all restrictions on abortion nationwide. This Friday, on January 27, hundreds of thousands of pro-life citizens will gather in Washington for their annual march protesting the decision.

Congressman Warren Davidson (R-OH) released the following statement:

“This day is bittersweet for Americans. On one hand, we just observed the solemn anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that has led to the death of over 58 million babies. On the other hand, President Trump’s action to stop the federal government from being part of these atrocities around the world gives us hope for the future. On this day, let us also remember the countless women who suffer from the trauma of their abortions.”
