Trump administration to cut funds for abortion aid overseas

The Trump administration announced that it will cut U.S. funding for foreign health organizations that provide abortion services. The cut in funding could also threaten clinics that treat patients with HIV, malaria, Zika, and Ebola. The policy entails $8.8 billion in federal funding, although the amount will not be affected. The organizations receiving the funding are required to pledge that they will not use the aid to perform or advocate abortion.
