Dutch Government Moves to Replace U.S. Funding of Foreign Abortions

On Monday President Trump (it’s still so weird to say it) signed an executive order restoring the Mexico City Policy. Also known a the “global gag rule” (see how abortion proponents twist identifying language to elicit emotion?), the policy bars American taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortion in foreign countries.

As predicted, the pro-choice crowd is outraged at this policy that has been reinstated and rescinded with each changing administration since Reagan. However, as an answer to the loss of American dollars the Dutch government has announced they intend to create and international fund to health agencies that supply abortions around the globe.

 Dutch representative  Lilianne Ploumen says the move will end up leading to “dangerous backroom procedures and higher maternal mortality.” It always devolves to backrooms and alleys, doesn’t it? And shall we point out the irony in raising the infant mortality rate?

“This decision has far-reaching consequences above all for the women it affects, who should be able to decide for themselves if they want a child, but also for their husbands and children and for society as a whole…Banning abortion does not reduce the number of abortions.”

To be clear, President Trump has not “banned abortions” anywhere, let alone around the world…as if he could. He has simply removed American funding of abortions. If our dollars are the sole source of support for international abortion procedures you’d think the world-wide media might treat us with a little more respect. Of course they are not, as proven by the Dutch government.

The Dutch already have a dubious record when it comes to life issues. In 2008 they legalized euthanasia and that slippery slope has only become slicker each year.

This is already saving the US money.  I wonder how many more places we can go and let others take up the slack"

Let's see:  How about letting the Saudis fund the $221mm to the PLO, or how about letting Europe fund the ridiculous renewables solar and wind?

I wonder if on their abortion kits it will say: "Brought to you by the same wonderful folks who brought slavery to the new World".

It fits.

Slavery and death.

 Lilianne Ploumen,  let the blood of your unborn be financed by your own hands not ours.
