I just read that today President Barack Obama’s made a decision to end a so called “global gag rule” on abortion which is drawing praise and criticism.

Government officials are saying that Obama signed an executive order ending the ban on federal funds for international groups that perform abortions or provide information on the procedure.

Of course both Liberal groups and abortions rights groups have conflicting opinions regarding this.  Liberal groups are welcoming the decision while abortion rights foes are criticizing President Barack Obama.

Tod Preston of Population Action International says Obama’s action will help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, deaths from high-risk pregnancies and abortions.

Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee says dropping the ban will effectively guarantee more abortions.

The ban has been reinstated and then reversed by Republican and Democratic presidents since GOP President Ronald Reagan established it in 1984.
