He also lifted the Global Gag Rule on Abortion Information.

“Say it plain, that many have died for this day.”

Those words could just as easily been said on January 22, 1972, as they were on January 20, 2008. This is not to suggest that there is a comparison to the injustice and violence of racism and slavery; but women by the tens of thousands did die waiting for the day when our uteruses would not be subject to dirty knives on creaking tables in shady neighborhoods.

Roe v. Wade did not create abortion. It does not advocate abortions. Neither does the Mexico City Policy, otherwise known as the global gag rule, which President Obama has lifted today.
