The global gag rule mandated that no U.S. family planning assistance funding can be given to organizations that provide abortion services, offer counseling and referral for abortion care, or advocate legal abortion access in their own countries - even if they do so with their own funds. Ronald Reagan first put it into effect in the 80s. When President Clinton came into office, he overturned it. And then came President Bush, who made it a priority to put it right back into effect. President Obama overturned it once again on January 23, 2009. More information here. ©2009 Planned Parenthood® Federation of America, Inc.
