President Trump on Monday morning signed an executive order blocking foreign aid or federal funding for international nongovernmental organizations that provide or "promote" abortions.

The order comes one day after the 44th anniversary of the Roe V. Wade Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal.

The 2016 U.S. budget included $607.5 million in funding for reproductive health internationally

Gotta love the way they twist murder to mean health. Money remains in the US, ping!

I am glad Trump did this, but he needs to follow through and encourage the Republican congress to make this LAW so that the next Democratic president can’t just undo it again.

Every effort should be made to write into law what Trump first does by executive order.

And every effort should be made to limit what can be done by executive order prior to Trump leaving office.

In particular I would like to see the ability of the executive to use rule interpretations to effectively circumvent congress. This again would need to be written into LAW. Federal agencies should not have the power to effectively create law by “interpreting” rules however they wish.

You’d think the people who love to scream “Racist!” would be horrified at a policy that provides U.S. funding for abortions of babies “of color” (I’m so sick of that phrase) in other countries. But no, logic doesn’t enter into it.

Trump needs to get his White House.gov site up to speed.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/
News should be posted there as soon, or even before, it is in the ‘news’ media.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions
(nothing)

The ‘news’ media is not his friend.

Let’s see with this order and the defunding of the Endowment of the Arts, and PBS, Trump has saved us 1 trillion dollars.

Trump was dead wrong about one thing - he said I would get tired of winning.

If the pro-choice proponents want to promote abortion, let them set up a Go Fund Me campaign to pay for it. Don’t make the taxpayer pay for your ideology. Keep taxpayer money at home as much as possible. We are not Santa Claus to the world.

Is it ok to ONLY abort fetuses(some would call it lifeless tissue)that will most likely become a female ? Didn’t think so.

Excellent suggestion!

The strange irony with pro-choicers is that on one hand they demand gov't stay out of their bedroom while on the other, they demand taxpayers fund it.

I wonder if anyone is keeping a compendium of every action of Trump that shows we’re winning.

Factor in, as well, the savings from shrinking the gov't workforce. It's time to divert some funding towards the replacement of the B 52 bombers, built between 1952-62 and still in service!! Turns out, the Air Force projects their continued use into the 2040s! This is testimony to the quality of construction from Boeing Corp.

How on God’s Green Earth Is the B-52 Still in Service?
