The State Department is directing American diplomats around the world to scale back US support for a raft of overseas sexual and reproductive health programs that proponents see as vital to women's health, but conservatives believe promote abortion and sexual activity among young people.

New State Department directives, outlined in internal memos obtained by Foreign Policy, show how the Trump administration is instructing US diplomats at the United Nations to push back on UN resolutions on women's issues, outlining so-called red lines on language related to sexual health and sexual harassment.

The memos underscore the growing influence under President Donald Trump of Christian social conservatives, who have scored a series of successes in recent weeks, including the White House decision to consider rolling back rights for transgender Americans in federal civil rights law.
