Foreign family planning agencies that promote or give information about abortion can now get federal US funding now that US President Barack Obama has lifted the ban. Why foreign, you wonder? The US has, for a long time, been one of the biggest supporters of family planning programs in the world, but former president Bush blocked funds from abortion services. Obviously, contrary to Planned Parenthood’s attitude, anti-abortion groups aren’t happy. Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee, points out that “Obama not long ago told the American people that he would support policies to reduce abortions, but today he is effectively guaranteeing more abortions by funding groups that promote abortion as a method of population control.“ Population control???

I am always against abortion because it is a sin to kill an innocent child.;;-
Abortion must not be allowed and banned in all countries;*”
what i can say is that abortion is a sin and it should be deemed illegal by all means ;`;
I don’t believe in but support abortion to a certain extent, I believe that if help is not available to those who do, there will be even more of a problem. A woman will do what a woman wants to do. What if the woman was raped, or the baby is destined to a miserable life due to defects or disease?
