Your pretending that nothing gets done at the federal level on abortion is just a deceitful pro-abortion lie, and one favored by libertarians and Rand Paul supporters.

Here is just one example, there are others, including federal hospitals and military hospitals.

The Mexico City Policy requires all non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive federal funding to refrain from performing or promoting abortion services as a method of family planning with non-US government funds in other countries. The policy has not been in effect since January 23, 2009. Since 1973, USAID has followed the Helms Amendment ruling, banning use of US Government funds to provide abortion as a method of family planning anywhere in the world.

The policy was enacted by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1984, rescinded by Democratic President Bill Clinton in January 1993, re-instituted in January 2001 as President George W. Bush took office, and rescinded January 23, 2009, 2 days after Democratic President Barack Obama took office.

Fair enough. Pardon my ignorance on that matter, but understand that it wasn’t done as deceit or a lie, as you seem to accuse.

Are you making the argument, tho, that a President Romney wouldn’t have renewed that? On what basis?
