Mexico City Policy and Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning
President Obama kept a low profile on Friday as he fulfilled a campaign promise by reversing President Bush’s policy barring U.S. aid to international organizations which provide abortions or advise women on how to get them.

President Obama lifts restrictions on abortion funding
WASHINGTON — President 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.

Mexico City Policy and Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning
The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151b(f)(1)), prohibits nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that receive Federal funds from using those funds "to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning, or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions.

"This  bill will all allow for family planning, or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions."


Approved by BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE, January 23, 2009.

Is this the new America and legacy that we want to leave for our children?

In 2009 the face of the Florida Supreme Court will undergo a huge change that will affect basic moral issues.
Supreme Court justices Justices Raul Cantero and Kenneth Bell, coupled with the mandatory retirement ages of Justices Charles Wells and Harry Lee Anstead in will all retire in 2009.

It will be up to Florida Governor Charlie Crist to appoint justices who will not legislate from the bench.
