APHA Policy Statement
American Public Health Association Policy Statement on the Global Gag Rule
With the support of the APHA International Abortion Working Group, GHJG led the development of an APHA policy statement on the Global Gag Rule (GGR). The APHA issues policy statements on key public health issues but had not updated their policy statement on the GGR since 1984. The statement, Preventing and Reducing the Harm of the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy in Global Public Health, was adopted by the APHA governing council in November 2019.
