Revokes the Obama-era Presidential Memorandum of January 23, 2009 and reinstates the Bush-era Mexico City Policy, which prohibits U.S. taxpayer dollars from funding foreign organizations that perform or promote abortion as a method of family planning. Directs the Secretary of State to extend these requirements across all global health assistance furnished by any department or agency, and to ensure no U.S. funding supports coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization programs.
