Trump's abortion 'gag rule' prompts calls for Canadian aid leadership

Canadian aid groups are deliberating how to respond to American policies that block U.S. aid for virtually any group in developing countries that provides abortion services, science-based sexual health information, or LGBTQ+ advocacy. The rollback of feminist aid has prompted organizations to call on Prime Minister Mark Carney to assemble a coalition of like-minded nations to defend sexual health programming. Aid leaders warn that vulnerable populations are more likely to die without access to this assistance.
