Britain to Fund Safe Abortion Services in Developing Countries in Defiance of US Policy

Great Britain has announced a program to fund safe abortion services in developing countries over the next two years, according to London’s Guardian newspaper. Plans are to provide about $4.5 million dollars over two years.  The decision is in apparent defiance of US policy put in place in 2001 that requires any organizations applying for U.S. funds to sign an undertaking not to counsel women on abortion or provide abortion services.  Source: Chinaview.cn.
