200+ Groups Call for Permanent End to U.S. Global Gag Rule
----------------------------------------------------------

An international coalition of over 200 groups is calling on the Biden
administration to permanently end the so-called global gag rule, which
bars non-profits in other countries from receiving U.S. funds if they
provide abortions or even refer or counsel people on abortion. Biden
rescinded the rule but it remains at risk of being reinstated in future
Republican administrations.
