Obama to Lift Ban on Funding for Groups Providing Abortions Overseas

[stephanie]

gotta get to the improtant stuff right off the bat..


Obama will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.

Obama will sign the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.

The policy, known in governmental circles as the "Mexico City policy," requires any non-governmental organization to agree before receiving U.S. funds that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."

The language was announced at the United Nations International Conference on Population in 1984, and was approved by President Reagan and originally drafted by his assistant secretary of state, Alan Keyes.

Keyes ran unsuccessfully as the GOP nominee against Obama for the U.S. Senate in 2004.

President George Herbert Walker Bush continued Reagan's Mexico City policy.

President Bill Clinton issued an executive order lifting the ban on Jan. 22, 1993. President George W. Bush issued an executive order re-instating the ban on federal dollars for NGOs that discuss or provide abortions on Jan. 22, 2001.

IMO, we all lose.

Wait until he gets his hands on domestic abortion policies. Remember folks, this is the guy in the Illinois legislature who voted to prohibit medical aid to aborted babies born-alive.

I wonder how he explains this to his daughters..and he does this on the very first day of his Presidency...what a sick fuck.

Seriously. His urgency to aid abortion is very telling.

False. There was already a law on the books, there was no need for another law.

I agree, just doesn't surprise me. I dug the stuff up about him and 'born alive' mess. Even those on his side regarding abortion had a problem with that, but they still voted for him and they won. So now it's time for them to act and opposition to react. I'd like to think there are some conservatives putting together ideas that will win down the line, but so far I'm not hearing much.

sorry, but Abbey's statement was accurate, he voted in opposition of requiring medical personnel to provide assistance to children born alive during a failed abortion......preferring the murder of a living child over a limitation on abortion rights.......

He has to make sure that every abortion is performed from the moment he steps foot in the Oval Office. He can't afford to loose a single second, although, the anniversary of that terrible decision is today, the 22nd of January, if I am not mistaken making it the second day of his term, the hangover from the inaugeration must have prevented him from taking this action yesterday or maybe he was just waiting for the effect. Sick, sick, sick!

It seems funny, liberals say they are not for abortion but at every opportunity they get, they do their damnedest to make sure every possible abortion happens.

Glad to see where his priorities are. I thought abortion was just one of those "wedge" issues that evil Republicans bring up to distract people from real problems.

Its clear to me that its a real issue and the death of minorities in foreign nations is important to him. I dont think ill ever understand the rational

To be born or not to be born? Nature terminates the preborn with miscarriges. A natural abortion. Who would have thought God, in his infinite wisdom, if you believe in any god, could let one of his preborn lambs die before seeing the light?
A childish attitude? You better believe it. Just like that of the anti death for fetus' campaign. I mean pre born babies.

likewise, since some folks die naturally, of old age, we should eliminate all restrictions against murder....death is only natural, you know.....in short, April....some actions taken against the living are reprehensible......though I realize, for liberals, reprehensible is incomprehensible.....
