They CAN'T use the funds for abortions overseas.

Uh-huh, and I bet you trust this is the case.

I put my trust in no man, but I know what the law says. Bush, in signing this appropriations bill has done what he could prior to the signing of the bill to make sure that funds aren't used for abortion. Short of yanking all funds from foreign countries or going to war with those who misuse our money, he can do no more. (And he, personally, likely doesn't have the power or clout to withdraw money from foreign nations). The title of the article makes it sound like this is what the whole bill was about, but it is just another thread to bash Bush as not being a conservative. Truthandlife didn't set it up that way and was rightly concerned by what the article intimated. However, I think the article doesn't take Bush's earlier executive order into consideration. If money (which, like it or not is going to the foreign nations anyway) goes to family planning but not to abortion, I don't mind it. Bush already covered the abortion aspect the first week of his presidency.
