                Memorandum of January 24, 2025

                
The Mexico City Policy

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State[,] the Secretary 
                of Defense[,] the Secretary of Health and Human 
                Services[, and] the Administrator of the United States 
                Agency for International Development

                I hereby revoke the Presidential Memorandum of January 
                28, 2021, for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
                Defense, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, 
                and the Administrator of the United States Agency for 
                International Development (Protecting Women's Health at 
                Home and Abroad), and reinstate the Presidential 
                Memorandum of January 23, 2017, for the Secretary of 
                State, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and 
                the Administrator of the United States Agency for 
                International Development (The Mexico City Policy).

                I direct the Secretary of State, in coordination with 
                the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to the 
                extent allowable by law, to implement a plan to extend 
                the requirements of the reinstated Memorandum to global 
                health assistance furnished by all departments or 
                agencies.

                I further direct the Secretary of State to take all 
                necessary actions, to the extent permitted by law, to 
                ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not fund 
                organizations or programs that support or participate 
                in the management of a program of coercive abortion or 
                involuntary sterilization.

                This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.

                The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to 
                publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
