That's pretty messed up. I'd never even heard of this "Mexico City Rule" until today. It gets absolutely no press. Seems like it was initiated in Reagan's term, rescinded on the first day of Clinton's term, then reinstated on the first day of Bush's term.
My guess is it will probably be rescinded again on the first day of the next Democratic president's term. > "LONDON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Britain announced funding on Monday for > safe abortion services in the developing world and urged other > countries to join it, in defiance of Washington." > > "Under a U.S. policy dubbed the "global gag rule," any organisation > applying to it for funds must agree not to counsel on abortion -- > except to advise against it -- or to provide abortions." > > The Global Gag Rule.
