Family-planning NGOs could see loss of USAID funding as Trump inks ‘Gag Rule’

Organizations working in Cambodia that provide or promote abortion as a form of family planning are bracing for a cut-off in US government funding thanks to an executive order signed by new US President Donald Trump on Monday.

On his fourth day in office, Trump issued the memorandum reinstituting the so-called “Mexico City Policy”, first enacted under Republican president Ronald Reagan in 1984. Also known as “the Global Gag Rule”, the policy requires NGOs to certify that they will not “perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning” if they wish to qualify for US government assistance, such as through USAID...
...several NGOs operating in Cambodia said they were preparing for the impacts of the order.
“Even now, women don’t know that in our country abortion is legal, [and so] they go to traditional or unqualified providers,” Dr Var Chivorn [director of the Reproductive Health Association of Cambodia] said. “It might cost them their lives; it might cause them disabilities,” he said, adding that some 30 percent of maternal deaths are caused by unqualified abortions.

The new order could also have an impact on programs not directly related to abortions.
Dr Heng Kheng, director of the sexual reproductive health department at Population Services Khmer (PSK), said that while none of his organisation’s programs directly related to abortion are funded by USAID, the organisation does receive USAID money.

Oh right, you guys are volunteering to spend 18-20 years looking after all the unwanted children? Well done. Never mind the ones who die getting back street abortions, eh? Or the fact that unwanted children generally come from impoverished backgrounds that lead to drugs and crime, which costs everyone money in the long run. Check out Freakonomics, there's a section on how Roe v Wade lead directly to the massive drop in crime in New York City 20 years later. Up to 21 weeks the foetus is non-viable outside of the mother, so it's not "alive". Brain function forms much later, last trimester. Foetus goes fish - lizard - squirrel - monkey - human in development phases. But yeah, what do you suggest as an alternative?

Judging from their high-handed Christian rhetoric they're citing ignorant righteousness as an unrealistic solution to the problems you have posted. They are willing, most likely, to expect impregnated women suffer simply because they are men and hence immune to such situations.
