Obama overturns 'Mexico City Policy' implemented by Reagan

Hmm, isn't the best form of abortion to not have sex in the first place??? Or to be smart and wrap ur dart? Come on people, it has nothing to do with abortion. It has to do with STUPIDITY! Listen to your big head, not the little one. Damn, stupid people wow. Life is life, you created it, you live with it....stupid people

I guess Sarah Palin's daughter's abstinence training just did not work. lol

The right wing is always carping about all the babies the poor have and how they use up entitlements, but at he same time they do not want them to have access to abortion. the morning after pill, and birth control and family planning in most cases.

So the RW is really anti-sex unless its to intentionally make babies. They are sick F.....ks imho.

Thank you for appreciating SCIENCE and being sane President Obama.

Go Obama! Thanks for starting to fix Bush's f#ckups so fast.

plusaf what scientific age do you live in. When Roe v Wade was passed we didn't. Scieintist can witness the creation process in laboratory settings by combining an egg and sperm. The contents of conception goes thru a dance splitting and organizing until it completes and it reaches a point where 46 chromosones are selected and joined to form a chain. This chain can be viewed under microscope in IVF procedures. It is the point where both the egg and the sperm cease to exist and only the DNA of the surviving offspring continue to develop. Prior to this point you have a living sperm and a living egg with its donor DNA so life is present much the same way as it did prior to joining together.
At present we can't seen inside the womb to witness this occurrence but the reproductive specialist can time and map it in their laboratory and pinpoint it in 8 cells round day 3. As early day 5 after fertization, these 8 cells have formed thousands of cells and is called a blastula. The blastula takes control of the embryo and the mothers MRNA ceases to control the egg developmnet and the newly formed entity controls the development of its specialized cells. It is at this point, that the fertilized material implants and identifiable organ cells begin to develop and know their purpose. Any enlightened person would then have to concede that any action after this implantation is interruption to they newly formed person.

I know there are those that would argue for the potential of the fetus at conception/fertilization and I don't proclaim to know they are not correct but I am convinced that any action after day 5 implementation is interferring with the life of the creation of a life.

I love how obvious it is that many people who are against this policy obviously haven't even read it and don't know what they are talkin about. This policy does not just refer to abortions, it goes to womens health to get them breast exams and PAP smears as well which are 2 things every woman needs regaurdless of sexual activity. It also goes to sex education to keep them from having unwanted pregnancies in the first place! But then again most people against abortion are also against sex education so I bet they'd rather use that money for Bibles and telling them to pray because that solves everything.

Also for those who are against this financially remember, we are part of a global economy...america does not stand alone and if other countries fall, we fall too. In order for America to prosper, the world needs to prosper. Helping control population booms and failing womens health in other countries will allow them to grow and help us prosper.

everything is federal money for this and federal money for that....and now federal money for killing babies abroad.its labeled as "family planning"..sounds like a great plan

plusaf - how little you do know about me. I am not a member of any political party or religious organization. I do donate time and money to help these children that you describe even to the point of adopting them and giving them a home and the AUDACITY TO HOPE for a life in which they will be accepted loved and cherished.

good start obama

This man Obama is a killer plain and simple.

Drop condoms not bombs. Hey, we could start right here. Let's see. If I put too many rats in the cage, what will happen? Depletion of limited resources? Unhappy rats? Nasty diseases? Was it Australia, they had that rabbit (non indigenous species) problem? Not a problem now. I think they just bread themselves out of existence. Me Too!!! That's what I want for the human race. On the other hand, nothing like dying or unwanted babies to brighten up my day. Oh, by the way I raised 8 children over the last 40 years. None my biological. My Blessings. They just found me. Where is your moral high ground?

Pax vobiscum,

Captain B.

By the way I think Obama is a pimp. Make the easy sales. How about some jobs here and info structure building? Oh yeah, the Republican "Johns" might not like that kind of sex. And that Romney prick is already running for the next presidential election. Think people. Ain't no Jesus gonna save you butts. Apparently he already did that. Now pick up the slack.

"We are reminded that this decision not only protects women's health and reproductive freedom but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman's right to choose,"

This goes for sex/family education as well
as contraception. Thre are to many dam people in the world. Obama has sack as he knows this will help women
... the Bush way to control population by using war is not the way to go!

Also the Pope has got to get out of the way, his sexual and social views would take the world back to the dark ages!

omg its like we're not getting any time to ajust to the new policy of enlightened leadership here in america.

I FREAKING LOVE IT.

it's like suddenly waking up from a horrible 8 year long nightmare.

Oh, and can someone tell me why President Obama is always looking up and off into the distance in every photo every taken of him. Is he pretending to be a statue or something. Or does he see stuff up there. I keep trying to look up and away like that and I don't see anything different. I don't get it. This is nothing against President Obama, I actually like him so far. But it does concern me when someone can't look me in the eye.

i really like this idea. i don't think we'll need to help the E.U., Russia or China at all as they seem to have pretty much taken care of their population problems by generally stopping re-production and in the case of the E.U. importing radical islamic terrorists to take over the day to day operations of their countries. seems to be working.

and of course those darned chinese have limited everyone to one child which has resulted in the wholesale genocide of female infants and thus creating a hoard of young eligible bachelors. hey girls here's an opportunity. how about a vacation in bejing. whew whew

and then there's the russians who are pretty much drinking themselves to death,mostly the guys, but the gals are catching up. i kinda think this might be due to their highly perfected socialism what with all the sharing going on and of course it has now taken the next natural step to facism with the advent of my guy Vlad Putin. this is something we can look forward to over here in the years ahead as our Noam Chomsky friends gather momentum to save us all

I don't know if this initiative stopped the sex part of it, but that could work too.

if i were the new grownups in washington I'd focus on the middle east and africa and india. I think if we can wear down these populations then the world will be better and then we will have peace and plenty of food and global warming will stop and their will be more oil to go around for the rest of us.

this is neat. thanks

Hey, anything overturned that was originally done by that MORON Bush is OK in my book!

Obama must be an idiot. Doesn't he realize that abortions kill off over 50% of black Americans each year? Why would anyone knowingly support the genocide of his own race?

May God forgive his soul for contributing to the killing of millions of innocent, helpless children.

There is one sure way not to have an unwanted pregnancy - don't have sex. Everyone forgets about the poor little girls who will never get to make a choice because they were thrown into a trash can before they could ever take a breath. If you give it to a clinic that does abortions, then it will go for abortions because everyone wants their fun but no one wants their responsibilities.

peterinda -you forget that the right wing liberals pay taxes too and have a right to say how their tax dollars are spent as well and we should not be forced to fund projects that are repugnant to us.

good job obama.

im happy so far

I have been impressed with the President's early progress as well. He seems to have had several policy moves that were "shovel ready" so-to-speak. I recall this bone-headed move by the President who was easily our dumbest up until Dubyuh. I was a freshman in college when Reagan was elected to his first term. Shortly thereafter, I began writing a daily column for the student newspaper. As you might imagine, many, many columns were devoted to Reagan's actions and the policies he advocated or established. Unbelievable. As many of you probably recall, he called his wife "Mommy" and organized as much of his schedule as possible around the predictions of "Mommy's" astrologer. During their long marriage, he wrote many notes to her expressing his love. They were far, far worse than even his worst movie, but I encourage people to read them so they can get a fairly unvarnished view of who he really was -- Chauncy Gardener -- as opposed to the myth so revered by one of our major political parties. Perhaps what was most refreshing about President Obama's inaguration speech was that it was particularly long on substance rather than style. Reagan's speeches were almost always the opposite. To this day, people say that he was the President who made Americans feel good about themselves again after the double disasters of Vietnam and Nixon/Watergate (and the Ford and Carter interludes). Little do those people know but most of us felt better because after listening to Reagan speak we were glad that as bad as things were we at least weren't quite as stupid as our President. Sigh.

I don't think anyone is planning to send a bunch of taxpayer money to Mexico to help them with abortions. As I understand it, the bill was enacted to prevent any recipient of foreign aid from providing or even mentioning abortion as an option - even if the US money did not go to abortions. So, if a clinic in another country wanted to continue receiving foreign aid from us, they had to stop performing or discussing abortion or else the aid would go to a different clinic.

Xian fundies, in their zeal to deny a woman's right to chose, would deny many third world women health care because their local clinic provides abortions. This is and was wrong.

Obama has the courage to stand up to Xian misogyny and say no to ignorance and superstition.

In short, we are now able to fund third world reproductive health care, which is the humane, moral thing to do.

Stop the unwanted breeding!

Hooray.

Awesome.

Bush was buckling under to right wing religious groups when he made these policies. I don't think Obama is the buckling kind.

NIce to have an intelligent policy around reproductive health. Bush's Xian ignorance did much damage and caused a great deal of pain and suffering.

This is what happens when the adults regain the steering wheel. Now it's time for the judicial spanking of the idiots that were running our government.

maybe it's just that i'm older and more politically aware, but i am truly impressed at the rapidity in which obama is taking action. have all presidencies begun with such swift policy change?
