You do understand what the phrase "took effect" means, don't you? Not proposed. Not drafted or signed into law. That's when they finally took effect.

Since the first thing Bush did on his first day in office was throw out Clinton's executive order paying Federal funds to foreign abortion providers and stopping abortions on military bases abroad, your snarky comment is proof of your ignorance.

Yes, I understand what the words “took effect” mean and wonder why such rules did not take effect sometime earlier than 1/20/2009.

BTW-The topic at hand has nothing whatsoever to do with America’s funding of abortions at overseas military installations, but rather medical providers right to object to certain procedures while in the United States.
