Pro-Life UN Group Thanks Bush for Mexico City Policy

New York, NY -- "President Bush's decision to reinstate Mexico City language sends a strong and immediate message to the world that the United States will no longer be at the fore-front of spreading abortion to countries that do not want it," said Austin Ruse, President of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute (C-FAM).

"Mexico City language," decided upon by the Reagan administration in 1984 prohibits American taxpayer money from supporting groups that perform or lobby for abortion in foreign countries. Most US funds have been funneled through the US Agency for International Development, which directly supports groups that both perform abortions and lobby foreign governments to change abortion laws.

"In my experience at the United Nations, both diplomats and regular citizens around the world have come to believe that Americans hate them," said Ruse. "This is because of the previous Administration's aggressive support of the spread of abortion to the developing world through financing of such extremist abortion groups as International Planned Parenthood Federation."

"This is a positive first step," said Ruse. "We expect this is only a first step in what will be a pro-life and pro-family foreign policy of the new president. C-FAM will work vigorously at the U.N to support such a policy, and I am certain this move will be welcomed by the sometimes beleaguered foreign governments who want strong and growing families."

C-FAM works directly with dozens of foreign governments in development of UN resolutions.
