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.
