Time to reverse Bush's Global Gag Order
One of the first thing we should do when we take back Congress in January is to start work on reversing The Global Gag Order to reinstate U.S. funding to International Planned Parenthood.

Signing that “Order” was the first official act of George W. Bush when he took office in January, 2001. When I look at the Third World Nations today, I can’t help but wonder how many babies President Bush is responsible for bringing into the world that have ultimately starved to death.

2. Absolutely....
It's frightening to think how many babies have starved because of that "Order".

That gag order was pure vintage BFEE cynicism--41 put it in, Clinton withdrew it, 43 put it back. People died because of it.

Pond scum, each and every one of them without exception.
