Africans Plead With Joe Biden To Stop Paying Their Countries To Kill Children
by Helen Raleigh, The Federalist:
In signing an executive order to fund abortions overseas, President Biden chose to disregard the wishes of the African people.
President Joe Biden likes to present himself as an advocate for racial justice and a man of the people, especially those whose voices are often under-represented. Yet his actions routinely contradict his lofty rhetoric. A recent example is how he has ignored African people’s plea not to fund abortions on their continent.
One of the more than two dozen executive orders President Biden signed recently revokes the so-called “Mexico City Policy.” The policy, first implemented by President Reagan in 1984, requires any federal grant recipients to agree to neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning to receive U.S. aid.
Abortion rights groups and leftist interest groups have opposed this policy since its debut. Every Republican president since Reagan supported the policy, while every Democrat president — from Bill Clinton to Barack Obama — reversed the policy as soon as they came into office.
The Trump administration not only reinstated the policy but also expanded it to one called Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance, requiring “foreign non-governmental organizations that receive global health assistance from affected Federal Departments and Agencies to agree that they will not perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning or provide financial support to any other organization that conducts such activities.”
