As part of the State Department funding bill, the Senate could consider whether to make permanent Obama's repeal of the controversial so-called Mexico City policy.

When in effect, the policy prevents foreign nongovernmental organizations that provide or counsel women on abortion from receiving U.S. aid.

If approved, the provision would write into law a prohibition on withholding foreign assistance to groups that provide such services, as long as they are legal in the receiving country and the United States.

Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J., who sponsored the proposal as an amendment to the State Department funding bill, says it would end the uncertainty that foreign aid recipients face when control of the White House shifts between parties.

In addition to motivating God fearing, life affirming, liberty loving, tax burdened, and American sovereignty concerned citizens to contact their Senators to oppose this, this proposal shows the need for promoting personhood initiatives.  Such services as advising or aiding or providing the murder of innocent human victims should not be legal in the United States nor aided and encouraged by the United States and the tax dollars of its citizens anywhere else.
