The President of US Donald Trump on Monday signed a decree barring US federal funding for foreign NGOs that support abortion, relaunching a battle that has long divided Americans.

This happened just two days after women lead a massive protest marching into Washington to defend their rights, including to abortion.

The decision to ban foreign aid to groups that try to get to accept one's idea's about what should be done in support of abortion rights is certain to deepen concern among already afraid US family planning and women’s rights organizations.
