MSI Reproductive Services, a nonprofit group, lost U.S. funds during the first Trump administration because they would not abide by the Mexico City policy, which cut off American aid to groups that discuss or provide abortion services.

The Mexico City Policy cuts off U.S. aid to health groups in other countries that offer abortion services or counseling. As in 2021, Trump has reinstated this policy, which was deactivated by Biden.
