Obama Ends Presidential Ban On Foreign Aid Money For Pro Abortion Groups

Despite roughly 50% of Americans being against abortions, President Obama lifted a ban on foreign aid money going to organizations that promote abortion.  Meaning your tax dollars will soon be paying for the murder of unborn children.

Feel the unity and bi-partisanship yet?

WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Barack Obama will issue an executive order Friday afternoon reversing a controversial abortion policy from the past three Republican administrations, a senior administration official said.

The order comes the day after the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade — the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in the United States.

The order reverses the “Mexico City policy,” initiated by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, canceled by President Bill Clinton and reinstated by President George W. Bush in 2001.

The policy prohibits U.S. money from going to international family planning groups that promote or provide information, counseling, or referrals about abortion services. It says any organization that receives U.S. family planning funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) cannot offer abortions or abortion counseling.

What a tragedy, but about what you’d expect from the guy who opposed a ban on the practice of letting children who survive abortion lay in storage rooms until they die.
