Clinton Announces More Funding for Abortion and Contraception

More proof that the Obama administration is committed to increasing the number of abortions worldwide and that his lies about trying to reduce the number of abortions are just a cynical ploy to siphon off Catholic and Evangelical votes by deceiving the gullible. See this article: "Secretary Clinton Announces 5-year Funding Push, Including Abortion."

"(NEW YORK – C-FAM) In Washington last week, United States (U.S.) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the United States would engage in a massive funding push over the next five years to promote “reproductive health care and family planning” as a “basic right” around the word. Clinton has previously stated for the record that this includes abortion. The plan includes potentially siphoning off funds currently directed towards fighting HIV/AIDs, tuberculosis and malaria.

Commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the controversial International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Clinton said there were only five years left to achieve ICPD’s goal that “all governments will make access to reproductive healthcare and family planning services a basic right.”

Last April, in testimony before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, when asked whether the United States' definition of “reproductive health" includes abortion, Clinton replied that, "We happen to think that family planning is an important part of women's health and reproductive health includes access to abortion that I believe should be safe, legal and rare." 

In her remarks last week Clinton specifically emphasized the importance of the abortion component of the Obama foreign policy by saying, “One of President Obama’s first actions in office was to overturn the Mexico City policy, which greatly limited our ability to fund family planning programs.” The 1984 Mexico City Policy required all non-governmental organizations that receive federal funding to refrain from performing or promoting abortion services, as a method of family planning, in other countries. In fact, notwithstanding Clinton’s assertions, the ICPD outcome document likewise rules out abortion as a method of family planning.

Despite the economic downturn, Clinton announced that “The U.S. Congress recently appropriated more than $648 million in foreign assistance to family planning and reproductive health programs worldwide. …the largest allocation in more than a decade.” The “centerpiece” of the Obama foreign policy, she said, would be the Global Health Initiative. She said the initiative “commits us to spending $63 billion over six years.” This will link the reproductive rights agenda to high profile global health concerns. Launched by the World Economic Forum in 2002, the initiative is supposed to focus on HIV/AIDs, tuberculosis, and malaria."

Everyone who voted for Obama is implicated in this deception and in this attack on unborn children using the Orwellian language of "health." The so-called domestic health care reform bill now before Congress is that massive program of federal funding for health insurance that covers murdering unborn children. There is grim consistency to this administration's efforts at home and abroad. The liberal way to deal with poor people is to make sure that there are a lot less of them in the future. That way, rich people don't have to give up anything and poverty is reduced. That is the Hillary (Margaret Sanger Award Winner) Clinton way and that is the liberal way.

Anybody who argued that Republicans did nothing to prevent abortion have been proven wrong. They did a lot and it is being systematically undone by the Obama administration - the most liberal administration in American history. This was not the change we were hoping for.
