(4) In 2009, President Barack Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy.

(6) In 2021, President Joe Biden rescinded the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that:— (1) the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy should be expanded to cover funding to foreign and domestic nongovernmental organizations, multilateral organizations, and subcontractors; and (2) Congress should codify this policy to prevent further inconsistency between presidential administrations.
