Abstract
On 22 January 2001, as one of his first actions in office, President George Bush reinstated the Mexico City policy, more commonly known as the Global Gag Rule. The author explains in this article how the loss of funding for health services has serious implications, not only for reproductive health, but also how this could affect HIV/AIDS services in South Africa.-
