Fallin Opposes U. S. Dollars For Foreign Abortions
Congresswoman Mary Fallin, R-5th District, and several other pro-life congresswomen spoke out today against the pro-abortion measures placed in the latest Congressional spending bill.
The State Foreign/Operations Appropriations bill would authorize U.S. taxpayer money to support international organizations that practice or advocate abortion as a method of "family planning." Under the Mexico City Policy, originally instated by President Reagan, those organizations were previously barred from receiving U.S. assistance.
The Mexico City Policy does not affect funding for family planning programs that do not promote abortion, nor does it affect the overall funding levels for HIV/AIDS prevention.
Fallin spoke out against the policy change, arguing that Americans should not be paying for foreign abortions.
