Summary of the Event (at least 3 major points; each point will have its own paragraph)

A. Trump signed an executive action on Monday reinstating the somewhat

called Mexico City Policy and the bars international non-governmental
organizations that perform or promote abortions from receiving US government
funding.
B. "The President, it's no secret, has made it very clear that he's a pro-life
president," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at his first
daily briefing. "He wants to stand up for all Americans, including the unborn, and I
think the reinstatement of this policy is not just something that echoes that value,
but respects taxpayer funding as well."
C. Even during the Obama years, US law banned direct funding for abortion
services. But NGOs that performed the procedure were allowed to receive US
funding for other programs, including those related to contraception access and
post abortion care.
 Your Opinion of the Event (at least 3 sentences).
Trump really need to get his stuff together. People should be able to come and go and
mothers should do what they want. I don't know why he seems off to me.

Relate your Event to the a subtheme (at least 3 sentences).

This is a historical event that reminds me of this event I am doing is because something
was set like he was supposed to go to this thing but he changes his mind and does not. He
says something and then it just reverses and then the news was over it. He chances his
mind at the last min.

Questions You Have About the Event (4).

Aren't we free to do whatever we want ? Why is he changing america for ? Is he really
going to help us ?
