Excerpt
SUMMARY: President Trump majorly expanded the so-called "Mexico City policy" -- or as critics call it, the "gag rule" -- in a new executive order Monday. The Rule has blocked international assistance to any programs that mention or provide abortions. In the past, the Policy has affected about $600 million in funding; today's expansion will affect $9 billion. Reuters' Yeganeh Torbati joins William Brangham.
