President Barack Obama quietly overturned the "global gag rule" Friday, allowing U.S. foreign-aid dollars to flow again to international family-planning programs that offer abortion or advocate for abortion rights.

I'm afraid this blunt decision of his is not quite the way to proceed in that direction. I hope he'll have a follow up which makes clear that he meant what he said .... but I'm not holding my breath .....
Originally posted by generalissimoThis whole idea is a great way to lower the population of the rest of the world. This will allow the US to easily control them. Obama is a man of vision.
''hmmm, what is the easieast way of getting rid of unwanted pregnancies of people who just can't bother to use contraception and waste money during hard economic times simutaneosly?''
While contraception is the better choice in most instances, there are situations were abortions are necessary. If I'm not mistaken, the gag rule stopped funding to all organizations which gave the choice, so in effect it wasn't "we won't fund abortions", but more "we will fund neither abortions, nor contraception".

Originally posted by ivanhoeObama made a specific promise during his campaign to end the global "gag rule". So far, he's been keeping his explicit promises. If people didn't like his campaign promises, they should have voted against him.

Originally posted by SeitseNow the US isn't only killing born children in the third world, but has now decided to also finance and promote the killing of unborn children. I don't think it's a good decision at all.
Good decision.
A program to make people aware of natural means of birth control, which do not cost any money but which do ask self control, self respect, respect for the other and for human life, would be better for all ... but I'm afraid that the pharmaceutical industry would not give their consent to this. They would lose billions of dollars if this program would be succesful. In their eyes it is better to keep people uninformed and ignorant about these natural methods and at the same time make people dependent on their products.
