Denmark’s development minister, Ulla Tørnæs, has expressed her disappointment in the Trump administration’s decision to reinstate a ban on US funding to health groups around the world that provide information about abortion.
Following Trump’s move to reinstate what is formally known as the “Mexico City Policy” but more popularly described as the “global gag rule”, Tørnæs said that Denmark will not waver in its commitment to women’s rights and the belief that women should be allowed to choose what they do with their own bodies. […]
The Danish government is being urged by some to join a Dutch effort to counter the US position by creating an international fund that will finance access to reproductive education, birth control and abortion in developing countries. […]
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 22 million women worldwide receive unsafe abortions every year, with the vast majority of those living in developing countries that would be affected by the Trump administration decision. …

Well he is getting Denmark to pay for it, and they say he can’t get Mexico to pay for the wall, poppycock!
These are God’s babies, God’s creation. What right does anyone have to kill one of God’s own. These people are sick, depraved and have been given over to the wiles of the devil.
I do get your point, but I would rather see a border wall paid for than abortions. This shows twisted priorities at work.
I just feel like American tax payers shouldn't be paying for any health care for anyone in other countries.
setting aside the morality of abortion. We’re not paying for it now, and that’s a good step in the right direction.
Gosh, it seems like the US money wasn’t really required in the first place. Great, glad that others could finally step up to the plate. Wonder how many other things we’re paying for that other countries could get off their duffs and fund?
Oh, hey, wonder if they’re going to be happy with people pulling down six and seven digit salaries in administrative positions for these charities too?
Winning! Have fun paying for it Denmark and the rest of you sops.
women don’t have the right to murder babies.
So Denmark wants to kill its future citizens and is mad that America won’t pay for it? Well too bad Denmark, leftists have turned murder into a women’s health issue. Sad.
“Gosh, it seems like the US money wasn’t really required in the first place. Great, glad that others could finally step up to the plate. Wonder how many other things we’re paying for that other countries could get off their duffs and fund?”
Try NATO and the UN for starters. We have had a “go fund me” sign on our backs since the end of WWII insofar as Europe is concerned, and it has allowed those a$$hole countries to use their internal resources for crap like this. Abortion as birth control is out and out murder! At least now the decent taxpayers are not going to have to pay for it.
Well said. They murder their own offspring. It’s self genocide, and these people better wake up. Maybe it’s already too late. It seems that evil has a real hold on the world.
No one is telling women what to do with their bodies, but we Americans don’t have to pay for abortions domestically or internationally. What part of that don’t the Euro twits get? It infuriates me that everyone around the world thinks they can get Uncle Sugar to pay for everything...their abortions, their wars, their natural disasters, their defense, etc., etc.
LOL...maybe they’ll pay their UN tab as well, now.
Go for it. Let the Scandinavians fund it. Let rich liberal woman here create a charity with their own money and provide abortions for poor women who can’t afford to have their unborn killed. Do not take taxpayer money for something THAT controversial.
Remember that Scott Peterson is only on Death Row because he also murdered his 8 month along unborn son Conor. At the very least, Conor meant something to the People of the State of CA (I know, CA, but somehow!).
I will never forget Conor. My third son and he were due on the same day. When Laci went missing at Christmas that year, I identified with her strongly. I followed the case constantly. My beautiful son is about to turn 14. Conor never got to be born, unless you call his mother’s organs bloating with oxygen and expelling his tiny carcass to the surface of the ocean, birth. RIP to him and his mama.
You are correct. Uncle Sam is DONE paying for baby deaths. We need to focus on other expenses that support our people.
Yeah, kill your own... #ing idiots.
I dont think most women that have abortions are sick and depraved.
More like scared and short sighted and confused and stupid.
And MANY regret it terribly for the rest of their lives.
Quite a few I know firsthand.
Then there are those who just don’t give a ####. I can’t imagine thinking like that.
THAT’S the BEST post on this thread.
Forget the abortion debate. Why are we paying for ANYTHING, good or bad?
Well, if they manage to convince the Dutch govt to do that, it will certainly make clear that they have tons of excess money sitting around begging to be spent on SOMEthing, ANYthing. In which case, we should feel free to stop sending them NATO-related funds, since they obviously wouldn’t need it.
