| | American President |
| | In the 1860 campaign for President, Lincoln firmly expressed his opposition to slavery and his determination to limit the expansion of slavery westward into the new territories acquired from Mexico in 1850. | | | When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, seven slave states left the Union to form the Confederate States of America, and four more joined when hostilities began between the North and South. | | | Almost all historians judge Lincoln as the greatest President in American history because of the way he exercised leadership during the war and because of the impact of that leadership on the moral and political character of the nation. |

| | To avoid the abuses of executive authority experienced under Iturbide, the constitution required the president to share power and responsibility with a bicameral congress and the federal judiciary. | | | In 1833 the conservative president and military caudillo, Antonio López de Santa Anna Pérez de Lebrón, suspended the 1824 constitution and imposed a new national charter known as the Siete Leyes (Seven Laws). | | | Mexico's first republican constitution was the Acta Constitutiva de la Federación Mexicana (Constituent Act of the Mexican Federation), which was promulgated in 1824, following the forced resignation of Iturbide and the breakup of the short-lived Mexican Empire (see The Abortive Empire, 1821-23, ch. |

| | Statement on the Mexico City Policy - January 23, 2001 |
| | The Mexico City policy has been the cause of 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 of since it was first adopted in 1985. | | | But by reinstating the Mexico City policy, by cutting off support for some of the most effective organizations involved in family planning and women's health, the President 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. |

| | The Mexico City Policy: A 'Gag Rule' That Violates Free Speech and Democratic Values |
| | Smith is incredulous that, for the past three years, the president has refused to accede to one or another version of the so-called Mexico City policy (named for a Reagan administration antiabortion pronouncement in that city in 1984) and will not yield even now, when major foreign policy priorities are at stake. | | | With that, the debate over the Mexico City issue began to transcend the politics of abortion and enter the realm of deep-seated principles of U.S. foreign policy. | | | But Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, the nation's chief foreign policy officer, sees the matter differently. |

| | U.S. "Mexico City Policy" concerning abortion in foreign countries |
| | In 1984, during a United Nations International Conference on Population in Mexico City, President Reagan announced a ban on U.S. government financial support for certain U.S. and foreign family planning agencies -- those that were involved in any way with the provision of abortion in foreign countries. | | | President Reagan created the "Mexico City policy." It prohibits aid being given to international family planning organizations that provided abortion counseling, -- or provide abortions, or which advocated abortion access -- in as little as one country. | | | The ban was suspended by President Clinton, reinstated by President Bush, and then partially suspended by President Bush. |

| | The Mexico City gag rule, reinstated by the President through USAID on February 15, 2001, is denying family planning funding to international organizations that use their own funds to provide abortions, or abortion counseling or even lobby for the right to choose. | | | Yet the last time the Mexico City Policy was in effect, there was no reduction in the number of abortions, only reduced access to quality health care services, more unintended pregnancies and more abortions. | | | When President Bush reinstated the Mexico City Policy, he turned the clock back on women around the world by almost two decades. |

Bush's term with the comment, "It is my conviction that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortions or advocate or actively promote abortion, either here or abroad. | | | Additionally, critics dispute the effectiveness of the Mexico City policy in reducing abortions in the affected countries. |

| | 100 Hence, when asked to testify before the U.S. Congress in 2001 at a hearing on the Mexico City Policy’s effects on international family planning funding, the President of a Peruvian NGO had to appear in a U.S. federal court to receive legal permission to testify without threatening her group’s funding. | | | Accordingly, the Mexico City Policy is harmful not only because it leads to clinic closures and a reduction in available services, but also because it allows abortion politics to impede the provision of health care to needy populations. | | | Officially called the “Mexico City Policy,” this condition on foreign assistance was first announced by Reagan administration officials at the United Nations (UN) International Conference on Population in Mexico City in 1984. |
