'If we don't pass this, women will die'

Let's take a stroll down memory lane. Just 10 years ago, the Bush/Cheney administration requested $34 million for the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), and for good reason. Since its inception in 1969, the Fund has won widespread recognition for its work in improving the lives of women in developing countries.

<..> In 2012, just a decade later, House Republicans intend to eliminate all UNFPA funding.

<..> When we talk about the Republican "war on women," we tend to think of how GOP policies effect women here in the United States. This week, we were reminded that the Republican campaign is actually international in nature.

<..> President Obama, of course, overturned the Mexico City policy in his first week in office, which is why congressional Republicans are pushing to reinstate it. If Mitt Romney is elected, it's all but certain the global gag rule will return.

The GOP is trying to run the world with it's dark ages policies on women's health. These people have no sense, no conscience.....and no medical degree!!
