Facts and Information on the Global Gag Rule

On January 22 of 2001, President George W. Bush announced the reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule. It was his first Presidential act. The Global Gag Rule (GGR) disqualifies foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from receiving U.S. family planning funds if, using their own separate funds, they provide counseling or referrals for abortions, legal abortion services, or advocate making abortion legal, safer, or more available in their own country.
