Global Gag Rule Be Gone!

We may finally see the end of the "global gag rule" with the Obama administration. Bush 43 put the rule in place, which prohibits global organizations from spending their own money on abortions and family planning eduction that permits abortion if they accepted U.S. money. Bush figured that, if he couldn't prevent abortions for the goose because they violated a constitutional right, he'd prohibit them for the gander.

Regardless of your position on this issue, this contradiction between domestic and foreign policy is clearly unfair and is long overdue for the axe.
