The short explanation of this alert was:
In January 2009, President Obama overturned the global gag rule, a US policy that restricted foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive US family planning funds from using their own, private funds to provide legal abortion services, advocate for abortion law reform in their own countries, or even provide accurate medical counseling or referrals regarding abortion. This fall, the Senate will consider the Foreign Operations funding bill, which includes language to permanently repeal this dangerous policy. A permanent repeal is important to ensure that US-funded organizations can continue to implement policies that meet the needs of women and families around the world.
