One Way to Observe the 36th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
This morning NPR reports that President Obama will likely use this anniversary to lift the ban on U.S. foreign aid assistance to international family planning groups that perform or promote abortion:
“Thursday marks the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. It's also likely to mark the day President Barack Obama will reverse at least a few of the anti-abortion policies of George W. Bush.
…
The most likely candidate for action is the so-called ‘Mexico City policy,’ known by its detractors as the ‘global gag rule.’ It prohibits U.S. foreign aid assistance to international family planning groups that "perform or promote" abortion.”
