"President Barack Obama on Friday quietly ended the Bush administration's ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide information on the option. Liberal groups welcomed the decision, while abortion rights foes criticized the president."
I am the happiest woman in the world right now. The global gag rule, also known as Mexico City policy, has been removed. As a feminist and believer in being practical with family planning and women's health, I am ecstatic. Women all over the globe are going to be better off, now that funding will go to important family planning organizations.
I am not going to talk about abortion here because I couldn't change a pro-lifer's mind. They are as unmoving in their position as I am in my views. However, I will say this:
na na na na na na!
Boo yeah!
Ohh, snap!
