[07:15] How a political battle is threatening a federal program that fights HIV

John Yang speaks with Jennifer Kates, director of global health and HIV policy at KFF, to learn more.

[11:46] And specifically, he's complaining about the Biden administration's repeal of what's called the Mexico City protocol, not to use any funds to any group that provides abortion.
>> When it's in place, and it's always been put in place by Republican presidents through an executive action and then it's been rescinded or removed by Democratic presidents through executive action, is a policy that says when the U.S. is providing foreign aid to other organizations, to foreign NGOs, non-governmental organizations, it cannot provide any of that funding to organizations that use their own money or any other money, non-U.S. money, for abortion-related activities that are prohibited, that even are legal in their country, that may be prohibited under U.S. law. So basically saying we're not going to give you money for abortion because we can't fund abortion, but we won't give you money if you do anything else related to abortion.
