"The joke is not true" is not a good excuse for not telling a joke. The joke appears to be based on actual legislation
the Mexico City Policy, also known as the “Global Gag Rule,” .... The law prohibits allocation of U.S. funding to foreign non-governmental organizations that offer abortion services or information about the procedure.So to explain it more fully, what RMS is saying is that the Gag Rule will be expanded to prevent GNU from telling you about the
abort() function or when it should be used.Obviously it's not literally true. But jokes usually aren't.
