President Obama may overturn the Mexico City policy, which banned taxpayer funds for international abortions. It was put in place by Reagan, kept by Bush Sr., overturned by Clinton, and kept by Bush Jr.:
Bush defended the action, saying then: “It is my conviction that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortion or actively promote abortion.”
Think what you will about the former President Bush–he was great on the life issues–understood them–and held the line against the insidious encroachment of abortion into foreign countries using taxpayer dollars.

I suppose claiming political asylum in another country wouldn’t really work, would it?
Mrs. Ashe says
In Canada, I think I saw a statistic that says we pay more for other people’s abortions than for routine eye examinations. But that’s not hard, adult eye examinations are not covered at least by OHIP or whatever it’s called now…. That’s pretty sad.

What other country? There’s no where left to run to now.

I think battles like this need to be fought and not fled from.

In the U.S. as in Canada many unwanted pregnancies occur with unmarried young black women.
With abortion on demand Obama could be accused of “racism.”
Ironic isn’t it?
