Biden move restores U.S. funding for U.N. sexual and reproductive health agency

The Biden administration has repealed the so-called “Mexico City Policy,” freeing up U.S. funding for agencies overseas that assist in family planning, including providing birth control and abortions. Former President Trump put the policy into effect in 2017, cutting off funding for several international programs, including the United Nations Population Fund. The fund’s executive director, Dr. Natalia Kanem, spoke to CBSN about what the new funding will be used for and its impact on the agency’s mission. Source
