One more important note about the original subject of this thread, the highlights are mine:

"The global 'gag' rule restricts family planning organizations that use their own privately raised, non-U.S. funds to lobby their own government on reproductive health matters, a restriction that would be unconstitutional if imposed here in the U.S. The argument that U.S. funds are being used to pay for abortion is patently false. It has been illegal to use U.S. funds for abortion since 1975."

Smoke and mirrors and girls and women lose, all over the world thanks to Bush, Dick, And "Colon"; what a Trio.
