36 years of choice. Yay!
Edit: I jusr read and unconfirmed report that Obama reversed the Global Gag rule. And I started to cry right there.
“Separately, the administration in the afternoon issued a reversal of a ban on federal funding for non-governmental organizations working outside the U.S. that offer abortions or abortion counseling.”
Tears of Joy, people. Tears of Joy.
Hundreds of thousands of women will now hear about contraception, disease provention, family planning, recieve rape counceling, that they couldn’t get because of the Global gag rule. The mear mention of abortion disqualified a non profit from reciving any money. Yes, even if they didn’t provide abortions. Yes, even if they helped women who had back alley abortions, after the fact. The simple fact is that these organizations do alot more than provide or find providors of abortion. These organizations provide, prenatal care, rape counseling, post rape surgeries, infant health services, food, contraception, contraception counsiling, family planning, disease counceling, along with hundreds of other things realted to womens health and infant health.
excuse me Im going to go compose myself….
