I do in fact find handing out anti-government propaganda, in some instances should be criminalized.

Yeaaah. But what about this pesky first amendment?

I don't think any foreign government or agency should be allowed to contribute to the death of babies via abortion.

If it is legal in some country (like Russia for example) I don't see why not. It is the duty of this country to stop it. BTW I haven't heard about Russians complaining about abortion propaganda from NGOs. Russians don't seem to have anything against abortion.

"Western media put Russia at number three for its abortion rate, just after Cuba and Romania. Conservative think tanks like the Rand Corporation are more blatant: Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world."

The first ammendment has long been contrued so as to not govern certain situations, sedition being amoung them.

Also Mosnews is a leftist site that's why you cant post articles from it. In 2005 and already in 2006 Putin has been calling upon patriotic folks to have children and the government is starting a program to pay parents of children a small amount each month as well as front the cost of medical bills.

Getting back to countries in general however the official stance of most liberals is 'safe legal and rare' it cannot be rare if there are people paying for it. If someone cannot afford an abortion the government should be allowed to insist they not be given funds with which to do so.

Russia has banned abortions after 120 days, and it is just a matter of time until the statistics reflect that change. Additionally, they are considering taking additional steps to restrict abortions.
