Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, issued the following statement on President Trump's reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy, which will ban the performing and promotion of abortion services for all foreign non-governmental organizations.

“I can think of no better time to take this important action than the day after the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and as we prepare for the March for Life this week. Life is a precious and sacred gift, and we must do all we can to protect it. I applaud President Trump for taking this important action and look forward to continuing to work together in advancing pro-life policies and protecting taxpayer dollars.”
