Dems Slam Pompeo as 'Abortion-Obsessed' Because of Popular Move to Stop Overseas Abortion Funding
|
 [PJ] On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced new efforts to prevent American overseas funding from supporting abortion. While the Trump administration had already implemented what is called the "Mexico City Policy," this recent change makes that existing policy more effective. Democrats have slammed the Trump administration as "abortion-obsessed," but this policy is extremely popular, as are restrictions to late-term abortion.
"Your administration is abortion-obsessed," Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) told Pompeo in a hearing on Wednesday. "You’re so obsessed with it that the side-effects are devastating the health and are going to continue to devastate the health of women around the world."
Many Democrats have indeed seized on abortion as a vital "women's health" issue, even though the vast majority of abortions are elective and have nothing to do with threats to a woman's health.
As for the Mexico City Policy, it merely involves cutting American funding to organizations that promote abortion overseas. The new expansion cuts funding to organizations that provide funding to such groups.
"We will refuse to provide assistance to groups who provide funding to other groups" that promote abortion, Pompeo said in an announcement at the State Department. "American taxpayer dollars will not be used to underwrite abortions," he added. "This is decent; this is right."
