* Obama to Fund International Abortionists

Steers tax dollars to international abortion groups

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- President Obama is expected 
to reverse the Mexico City Policy by signing an executive order to fund 
international groups that promote or commit abortions. [Fox News 
reported this evening that BHO signed the Executive Order reversing the 
Mexico City Policy]

"Barack Obama begins his presidency by increasing the number of 
abortions worldwide with his order to fund abortion groups. The U.S. 
spends over $450 million each year on international family planning. 
Obama's order would funnel money away from legitimate health 
organizations to political allies that promote or commit abortions, in 
some cases in countries where abortion is illegal," said Wendy Wright, 
President of Concerned Women for America (CWA).

Dr. Jean Kagia, a doctor from Kenya, testified last year in Congress that:

    * Contrary to abortion proponents' claims, the Mexico City Policy
      does not adversely affect the health of women because 60 percent
      of family planning services are provided by the government, 30
      percent by faith-based health facilities, and 10 percent by
      private groups. The effect of any abortion-related clinics'
      closing is negligible.

    * In 2007, 85 percent of people in Kenya -- including women --
      opposed abortion.

    * Abortion is not safe, even in the hands of professionals.

Dr. Kagia said, "The promotion of and effort to legalize abortion in 
Africa is a foreign agenda and a form of recolonization. ... I have to 
ask why Congress wants to fund organizations that work against the will 
of the majority of the people of democratic countries."

Wendy Wright stated, "By overturning this policy, Obama steers tax 
dollars to political allies, offends the morality of millions of 
Americans, funds abortion efforts in countries where abortion is 
illegal, and breaks a campaign promise to reduce abortions."

President Obama's anticipated order reverses the Mexico City Policy. It 
was initiated by President Reagan to prohibit federal funds from going 
to foreign nongovernmental organizations that commit or promote 
abortion. Revoked by President Clinton, Congress voted repeatedly to 
apply this limitation legislatively during his term. President Bush 
restored the Mexico City Policy as one of his first presidential acts.
