Trump orders to suspend federal funds for elective abortions

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has signed an executive order for which the administration suspends federal funds aimed at financing or promoting elective abortions, that is, those carried out voluntarily.

“For almost five decades, Congress has annually promulgated the Hyde amendment and similar laws that prevent federal financing of elective abortion, which reflects a long -term consensus that US taxpayers should not be forced to pay for that practice,” The order prays, clarifying that “the previous administration ignored this policy.”

Thus, the Republican has signed a measure, which dates back to 1977, to prohibit the use of federal money for the attention of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy. He has claimed that former president Joe Biden (2021-2024) has not respected him.

Trump has repeatedly defended the federal amendment that repeals the prohibition of abortion based on states to decide on this matter “based on the will of their voters.”

The White House has indicated in the recent executive order that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will issue guidelines to those responsible for the departments and executive agencies to carry out the provisions of the new extent.

Abortion was a complex issue for Trump during his 2024 campaign, since he tried the cancellation of the ROE case v. Wade by the Supreme Court, according to the Bloomberg agency.

The White House announced the measure on Friday, coinciding with the annual life of life in the National Mall of Washington, a key encounter of defenders of the right to abortion. In fact, 23 anti -abortion activists condemned for blocking the entrance to the clinics to interrupt the pregnancy were pardoned.
