Not long into Obama's presidency, he took swift and decisive action to end the Global Gag Rule, meaning that health clinics in developing countries will again be able to offer the world's poorest women access to much needed reproductive-health services, from birth control to prenatal care!
"I look forward to working with Congress to restore U.S. financial support for the U.N. Population Fund. By resuming funding to UNFPA, the U.S. will be joining 180 other donor nations working collaboratively to reduce poverty, improve the health of women and children, prevent HIV/AIDS and provide family planning assistance to women in 154 countries," said President Obama.
Send your note of thanks to President Obama and express your hopes for continued cooperation between America's pro-choice majority and the new leadership in the White House.
