Some members of the U.S. Congress (call it a necessary restriction on abortion funding. U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright calls it anti-family planning and antidemocratic. Enyantu Ifenne, Nigeria country director for the Centre for Development and Population Activities, calls it simply "un-American." Now commonly referred to by reproductive health advocates as the "global gag rule," it is a new U.S. law, enacted in November 1999 but implemented beginning in April 2000. The law's goal is to discourage nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) based outside of the United States from providing any abortion services (even if abortion is legal in the country) with any of their funds, even those not coming from the U.S. government. The law also aims to inhibit such groups from engaging in any advocacy activities (again, with their own funds) that might in any way be construed as designed to "alter" their own country's law or policy on abortion.
