Abortion

As expected, the White House reinstated the “Mexico City policy” which blocks federal funding for charities that provide abortion services. But Trump was not satisfied with just following in the footsteps of President Reagan, who first imposed this policy, or Presidents George H.W. Bush and Georgia W. Bush, who also enforced it during their time in office. Instead he made it even worse:

This election continues to place terrible individuals in positions of real, tangible power who are spending every hour of every day implementing destructive policies.  Smart Dissent will continue to provide examples of those in power who you need to stay informed about so you can share this knowledge and together we can Be Smart and Actively Dissent.

In this case, we look at new leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services which is getting two anti-abortion crusaders in key positions and many more after them.
