Republican Majority for Choice Applauds Global Gag Repeal
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Bethany Vensel 202-887-4786 January 23, 2009
The Republican Majority for Choice applauds the repeal of the global gag rule and restoring America as a leader in international family planning.
"The global gag rule has been a massive obstacle in efforts to provide safe and effective medical care to the most underserved populations around the world. Millions of Republicans across the country supported overturning this measure and stand with us in support of desperately needed international family planning funds," said Kellie Ferguson, RMC Executive Director.
RMC has opposed the global gag rule since it was reinstated eight years ago. The global gag has restricted the doctor-patient relationship by having doctors choose between honest medical communications with their patients and all too important funding. It also blocked family planning efforts and cost millions of families' access to contraception.
"Supporters of the global gag have misled the public into thinking that overturning the measure would mean that U.S. funds would be used for abortions. That is simply not the case. U.S. funds cannot and will not be used for abortion, but will provide for vital pre-natal care, lifesaving maternal health services and comprehensive family planning and contraception," continued Ferguson . "We hope to see more and more Republicans embracing this type of common sense and effective polices to the incidence of unintended pregnancy and the need for abortion both at home and abroad."

you’re right.
on the left are the fruit loops.
in the middle, the vast american gridlock of dems and rinos.
and on the right, conservatives.
This could work out if the right interest groups abort their own.....Rhinos included. Yes, I know, ALL life is scared. Just thinking..while angry...must regain control...
lifesaving maternal health services and comprehensive family planning and contraception
If you do not call it abortion but you still do them, money is being used for them.
Yeah. Same as the hundreds of millions John McCain voted for Planned Barrenhood.
The two chairwomen are Dina Merrill, former wife of Cliff Robertson, and Jennifer Stockman, wife of David Stockman, the traitorous former Reagan OMB director.
The overwhelming number of Republicans in congress are not
for 0bozo’s MX City policy.
When you include major pro life Republicans with pro choice
folks, you have a problem with reality.
Loons voting third party or sitting at home gave us Oboma
and now you have buyers remorse
I have no such thing. Those who refuse to vote for liberals, no matter what letter they have by their name, have no reason to be remorseful.
If you do support said liberals, and have no remorse, I guess maybe your conscience is seared beyond decent use.
No, I really believe most of us voted for Sarah. That's what dragged me out.
Is it any wonder why the same Republicans who lecture the party on abortion can never be counted on for any other issue at hand whether it be economic, social ect.
So, you can’t read my tag line.
Have always been a Conservative.
Your Third Party Bob Barr made his 2nd wife get an abortion. You better preach to him.
They are NOT Republicans if they support abortion. They are RINOS.
That pretty much describes what passes for "leadership" in the Republican Party now.
I detest Bob Barr. He’s almost as bad as McCain. Not quite, but almost.
(I'm not a "Compassionate Conservative")
We do have two parties.
As Reagan said, It’s time to rebuild one of them.
There's nothing compassionate or conservative about supporting abortion.
Won’t do you any good to do a rebuild on your vehicle when the folks who control the steering wheel and therefore the destination have no intention of going anywhere good.
Well, silly, the point is to replace the folks who control the steering wheel.
Just like before.
Millions of Republicans across the country supported overturning this measure and stand with us in support of desperately needed international family planning funds,” said Kellie Ferguson, RMC Executive Director.
Disgusting woman, get out of our party.
