I think your source is heavily biased.

“WorldNetDaily, also known as WND, is a socially conservative opinion website, founded in 1997.[citation needed] It is currently in the top 2300 websites as listed at Alexa.1

Check the quotes in there as well. Even if you want to start finger-wagging at Obama on Jan. 21, 2009, it seems like WND didn’t pick sources in an even-handed manner. But I suppose one shouldn’t expect them to.

There should be more clarification (read: less biased) information on this “ban.” Please go back to Jan. 2001 to see the cuts good ol’ Dubya made in international public health.

Here we go:

“President George W. Bush re-imposed the Global Gag Rule on the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) population program. This policy restricts foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive USAID family planning funds from using their own, non-U.S. funds to provide legal abortion services, lobby their own governments for abortion law reform, or even provide accurate medical counseling or referrals regarding abortion. The 1973 Helms Amendment is a legislative provision that already restricts U.S. funds from being used for these activities.”

If Anne Coulter is offering an autographed copy of her book exclusively on this site, it must be wildly conservative. We all know she wouldn’t promote herself on any site that wasn’t falling off the right side.

Ha! The right should stop encouraging her. These days she just looks nuts. And like she needs a sandwich and a new hairstyle.
