The Mexico City Policy keeps taxpayer dollars from supporting overseas organizations that provide or promote abortions. Legislation in the House Appropriations Committee could render this provision worthless and allow our tax dollars to support pro-abortion groups around the world. The Mexico City Policy was originally instituted by President Reagan, discarded by President Clinton, and then reinstituted by President Bush.

UPDATE:
The bill proposed by Rep.
Nina Lowey (D-NY) has emerged from the House Appropriations Committee still posing a threat to important
pro-life measures. This bill should be amended to protect the Mexico
City Policy, or it will be strongly opposed by pro-life groups and concerned
citizens.
