Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Trump tasked him early on with one clear directive: cut off U.S. funding to any foreign organization or group that promotes abortion.<\/p>

Rubio has announced broad new restrictions on American aid dollars flowing to overseas abortion-related nonprofits. According to Rubio, the policy changes could affect up to $30 billion in foreign aid.<\/p>

The new restrictions are being seen as an extension of efforts that American pro-life organizations have been carrying out for years, particularly across the African continent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
