In 2009 Obama changed the Bush administration's ban on using taxpayers' money (usually in the form of US Agency for International Development funds) from going to international family planning groups. The groups offer either:

- abortions

- information

- counseling

- referrals for abortions.

The ban was aka the "global gag rule" because it prohibited taxpayer funding for groups for even talking about abortions if there was an unplanned pregnancy.
