PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LIFE-AFFIRMING FIRST DAY

President Trump signs
executive order reinstating the
Mexico City Policy

As a North American advocate for Life & disability issues, I was thrilled to learn President Trump issued an executive order on his first day in Office to reinstated the Mexico City Policy. 

This policy requires international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to agree to not promote or provide abortions, in order to be eligible for US funding. 

The Mexico City Policy was put in place in 1984 by President Reagan. It was successful implemented by the pro-Life Republican Administrations of Presidents H.W. Bush and George W. Bush rescinded by pro-abortion Democratic Presidents Clinton and Obama. Thanks to President Trump the policy is rightfully back in place. 

In a January 23rd 2017 press release by Republican Congressman Chris Smith (New Jersey) stated,

Congressman
Chris Smith

"Without this protection in place [the Mexico City Policy] foreign NGOs receiving u.S. government funds promote abortion throughout the world with the imprimatur of the United States, ... Organizations like Marie Stopes International and the International Planned Parenthood Federation have reported performing over 1 million abortions annually. Pro-abortion NGOs also set up additional projects oversees seeking to topple pro-Life laws, imposing a new colonialism that fails to respect life-affirming cultures."

I hope and pray that America is emerging from the dark years of Barack Obama's Presidency into new sunlit uplands where every human life is protected an cherished from conception to natural death and every state and stage between those two points. God bless America.
