House Democrats slip abortion language into bill to end partial shutdown


(Worthy News) – House Democrats have inserted language to expand abortion access into a bill to end the partial government shutdown set for a vote Thursday.

The spending bill would repeal a provision instituted by President Trump that requires foreign nongovernmental organizations to certify that they will not “perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning.” The provision, formally known as the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, was once called the Mexico City Policy, known by critics as the “global gag rule.”

The bill also would increase funding by $5 million for the United Nations Population Fund, to $37.5 million. Anti-abortion organizations oppose the program because they say it participates in coercive abortions and involuntary sterilizations. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
