No More Foreign Aid For Abortion!

[seer]

Make America great again!

President Trump on Monday reignited the war over abortion by signing an executive order blocking foreign aid or federal funding for international nongovernmental organizations that provide or "promote" abortions.

The so-called Mexico City policy, established by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1984, blocks federal funding for international family planning charities that provide abortions or "promote" the procedure by providing patients with information about it, including by offering referrals to abortion providers.

Referred to by critics as the "global gag rule," the policy has been subjected to a game of political football over the years, with Democratic presidents rescinding the policy upon taking office, as President Obama did in 2009, and Republican presidents reinstating it.

People in the UK are wanting to stop foreign aid to India. Partly because apparently they can afford their own space programme. Another country isn't entitled to your money.

True; countries spend their money how they wish. This policy however exists because the highly misogynistic religious right

Perfect example of why Trump won. Keep up the good work ff.

It's an easy hit for a start to cut back spending and one which fits with the beliefs of a large part of the population. I don't see a problem with this. If other countries are worried about their birth control then they need to do a better job educating their own people in that regards.

For economic reasons, women may prefer to rear fewer children. Those that are wanted will fare better. Abortion does not kill children - it saves them from poverty. Abortion is salvation - sacrifice one to save another - a very Christian ethic don't you think?

stopping abortion doesn't punish women. It saves them from becoming murderers.

This I like.

Not really. Margaret Sanger was actually staunchly opposed to abortion and wanted birth control to be available which was illegal back then. For decades PP was anti-abortion but over time morphed into the biggest supporter of it.
