Obama 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.

The germs that cause bad breath have their own DNA code; can I use Listerine without facing a prison term?
Next thing you're going to state is that a foetus is a "parasite" .... you wanna bet ?

If your argument was that something can't be removed from the human body because it has a different DNA code, than my example of the germs that cause bad breath is a counterexample to show the logical flaw in your "argument".

I see my point was completely ignored, so I'll repeat it.

Even if you are against abortion and somehow think it's right to force your ethics on other people, legalizing abortion and having good sex education appears to correlate with a low prevalence of abortions and teenage pregnancy.

Originally posted by generalissimoThe way I see it, the main difference between the two parties is which groups/organiziaiton/corporations get patronized with tax dollars. Its not a question of how much money wiil be spent, rather, it depends on which direction it will go. Now that the libs are in control it is the abortionists turn. After all, they depend on the money coming in from such groups for their campaigns.

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.
