Reinstate and expand Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance to all foreign aid
Mandate seeks an EO restoring PLGHA (Mexico City), blocking UNFPA, closing loopholes by covering all foreign assistance including humanitarian aid, applying to U.S. NGOs and multilaterals, mandating compliance reports, and retaining Helms as a complete abortion-funding ban.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 9 (USAID) — Protecting Life in Foreign Assistance: issue EO reinstating PLGHA and blocking UNFPA while closing loopholes by applying policy to all foreign assistance including humanitarian aid; draft broadly; rescind Biden Jan. 28, 2021 memorandum; apply to foreign NGOs including subs, remove exemptions for U.S. NGOs/PIOs/bilateral agreements; require compliance reporting and debarment penalties; continue Helms Amendment as complete ban on taxpayer-funded abortions abroad.
Undo plan
1) Rescind expanded PLGHA covering all foreign assistance if it blocks unrelated humanitarian, water, or education partners.
2) Restore UNFPA funding with Helms-compliant restrictions and China-coercion safeguards rather than total block.
3) Reinstate prior Mexico City scope limited to family-planning accounts if broader gag chills referrals and dual-purpose NGOs.
4) Publish clear compliance guidance distinguishing abortion promotion from post-rape care allowed by law.
5) Verify: GAO review of partner coverage gaps and maternal-health service continuity.
