| | Statement on the Mexico City Policy - January 23, 2001 |
 | | The Mexico City policy has been the cause <<b>bb>>of<b>bb>> more political posturing, more press releases and fund raising letters, more debates, more votes, and more presidential vetoes than virtually any issue I can think <<b>bb>>of<b>bb>> since it was first adopted in 1985. |  | | But by reinstating the Mexico City policy, by cutting off support for some <<b>bb>>of<b>bb>> the most effective organizations involved in family planning and women's health, the <<<<b>bb>>b<b>bb>>><b>bb><<b>bb>>b<b>bb>>>>President<<<b>bb>>b<b>bb>>><b>bb><<b>bb>>b<b>bb>>>> has set us on a collision course. |  | | Wrong because the Mexico City policy is not about taxpayer dollars, wrong because he ignored the bipartisan majority in the Senate that opposes the Mexico City policy, and wrong because it will likely result in more abortions, not less, in poor countries where abortions are often unsafe. |
