Trump reinstated the Mexico City policy prohibiting funding to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform abortions as a method of family planning in other countries. In 2018, the U.S. was the only country to oppose a United Nations nonbinding draft resolution to combat violence against women; the administration said a reference to 'sexual and reproductive health' could be interpreted as support for abortion rights, and that the resolution might conflate 'physical violence against women with sexual harassment'. In 2018, the administration prohibited scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from acquiring new fetal tissue for research, and a year later stopped all medical research by government scientists that used fetal tissue. In his January 2019 State of the Union Address Trump said he would push for a ban on late-term abortions, falsely asserting that a New York law would allow 'a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments before birth'. On multiple occasions in 2019 he falsely claimed that Democrats favor allowing doctors and mothers to 'execute' live-born babies.
