The Trump administration's recent move reinstating the ban on US funding to foreign aid groups that perform or provide information on abortions, has been widely criticised by health experts.
The executive order will affect millions of women worldwide, especially in low and middle income families, who will lose access to safe reproductive healthcare.
And as he signed the executive order, Trump was surrounded by a group of men including Vice-President Mike Pence, one of the most anti-abortion Republicans in Washington.
It didn't take long for people to notice what was missing.

We are mitú, a digital media company, has come up with a parody video showing what it would be like "if the government treated men like women".
The video, though quite hilarious, shows why exactly it is not a good idea for men to be taking decisions about women's bodies.
Sample this.
A group of women officials talk about making as many government regulations as possible to ‘help men make the right decisions’.
"It is well established that life begins with sperm, therefore any distribution of sperm not intended for the creation of human life is strictly prohibited. Examples: Masturbation and the 'pull-out' method," says one of them.
Makes sense, no?
It gets even better after this. Watch the full video here.
Why should we have to pay extra to cover THEIR services?
