January 15: Secretary of State – Marco Rubio
In This Role He Could:
- Decrease access to abortion services worldwide by reinstating the Global Gag Rule. This rule prohibits Non-Governmental Organizations in other countries who receive U.S. funding from providing abortion services or information, even to victims of sexual assault.
- Defund the World Health Organization, leaving millions without basic health care.
| Red Flags: -Co-sponsored a national abortion ban multiple times in Congress, and has sponsored hundreds of other anti-abortion bills. -Personally donated over $40,000 to the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. -Stated he believes life begins at conception, and that IVF poses a “very difficult bioethical issue.” -Asked the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and to rescind FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. |
