Trump's administration is reportedly planning to expand the so-called Mexico City policy that bans U.S. funding for abortions overseas.The administration will announce a policy Monday called "Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance," CBN reported.

“The pro-life policy will apply to global health assistance funding for international health programs, such as those for HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, malaria, global health security, and family planning and reproductive health," a White House official told "The Brody File."

Earlier this year, the president reignited the war over abortion by signing an executive order blocking foreign aid or federal funding for international nongovernmental organizations that provide or "promote" abortions.

The Mexico City policy, established by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, blocks federal funding for international family planning charities that provide abortions or actively promote the procedure. Referred to by critics as the "global gag rule," the policy has been subjected to a game of political football over the years, with Democratic presidents rescinding the policy upon taking office, as President Barack Obama did in 2009, and Republican presidents reinstating it.

1. If the people who support him were to say they wanted

all brown dogs over 75 lbs to be put to death, he would put to death all brown dogs over 75 lbs.

If the people who say he has nice hands and call him "daddy" were to say "please take away rights from people we are afraid of" like gays, black people and women, he would do that.

If the left had become his friend, he would be doing the right thing now in most cases, because his need for adulation is all that matters.

He is a deeply sick, twisted and demented person, but that is obvious. What is not obvious and what we must accept is so are all 60 million of his deplorable supporters.

2. And of course it is not just abortion...

“The pro-life policy will apply to global health assistance funding for international health programs, such as those for HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, malaria, global health security, and family planning and reproductive health," a White House official told "The Brody File."
