Washington D.C., Feb 8, 2019 / 05:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Two Democrats in the U.S. Congress this week reintroduced a bill that would permanently repeal the Mexico City Policy, a regulation that is seen as a barometer of U.S. presidents’ abortion politics. The Mexico City Policy, referred to as the “Global Gag Rule” by some critics, was originally instituted by president Ronald Reagan in 1984. It mandates that foreign non-governmental organizations may not receive federal funding if they perform or promote abortions as a method of family planning....(snip)

...This week, the Global HER (Health, Empowerment, and Rights) Act, which seeks permanently to repeal the Mexico City Policy, was reintroduced in Congress by Representative Nita Lowey (D-NY) and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), with 150 cosponsors, including two Republican women – Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME).

Why is the US government giving money to foreign NGOs?

Paul Ryan had a golden opportunity to end all of these left-wing policies that are currently destroying America and instead he took a crap for his wealthy big-business donors like the Koch brothers.

Absolutely one of the worst Congressmen ever elected.

That and Senate control would get them a veto they can't override.

So much for their House "victory."

If they were thrown out of the party, would it change the way they vote?

How about if the party just quits helping them?

If not, why not?

Boehner knew nothing was going to get passed because Reid ran the Senate.

Ryan, on the other hand, didn't do JACK.

This was a prodigy of conservatism, a person who dreamed of implementing his agenda all his life. So what does Ryan do once he assumes power? He takes a knee, gives Obama what he wants, and knifes Trump in the back.

Just a total POS

good question. Foreign countries have laws against abortion. The ngo goes in and promotes it. The ngo doesn’t get the blame, the US gets the blame as a meddler. Seems stupid to pay to set ourselves up.

Seems stupid for taxpayers to fund campaign costs for political issues in other countries (pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality).

I doubt we fund any $15/hour minimum wage laws in other countries.

As another poster described after NY’s infanticide-on-demand bill passed: We should adjust our tactics and cheer these policies that eliminate “populations that we don’t want to have too many of” (to quote Ginsburg). A couple of years ago it was announced that NYC had more black abortions than live births; if blacks want to blindly support those implementing this genocide, we can’t stop it. It struck me when those Covington kids were protesting against abortion that the “black Hebrews” were harassing those trying to stop the murder of those “black Hebrews” in the womb...

How many foreign NGO abortion providers can there be?
Isn’t that like being an accordion player in Harlem?
