Donald Trump defunding of UN's women's health service will cause 'millions to suffer' - The administration has cited the Mexico City Policy for the cut, which allows the US to stop federal funding to any organizations offering abortion services

Blame your current administration and the republican cohort for the majority of America's current socio-economic issues. Blame the multinational corporations and banks who don't pay accurate taxes and continue to (successfully) lobby for greater control of industries and patents. Blame Trump for media favoritism and vilification of opposing views under false pretenses.
