Rowling's tweet against the new Global Gag Policy has kicked up a twitter storm, with several celebrities throwing their weight behind her. 

President Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy, known as the Global Gag Rule, which withholds non-government organisations working out of the country from receiving federal funding for family planning if they perform abortions or even discuss abortions with their clients.

The move opened a can of worms as Harry Potter author, J K Rowling took to twitter sharing her thoughts on the reinstated policy in a volley of tweets. Rowling said the policy will not stop abortion, but will risk the lives of some of the poorest women in the world. The writer also shared screenshots of a study conducted in Guttmacher Institute to that end.

Danielle Peazer, renowned dancer and ambassador for Reebok Women, also spoke in favour of Rowling and tweeted that she is disgusted and shocked by Trump's move. Numerous NGOs and twitter users followed. 

But what exactly is the Global Gag Policy and how will it affect the world. Watch this video to understand the policy:
