Obama Reverses Rules on U.S. Abortion Aid
WASHINGTON — President Obama repealed rules on Friday that restricted federal money for international organizations that promote or provide abortions overseas, sweeping aside a pillar of the social policy architecture of George W. Bush’s presidency.

cool to see this headline in the NYTimes today... when i first got here i was frustrated to hear that the big Cholera Hospital in Dhaka (which functions as a sophisticated research center / free clinic for many hundreds DAILY) didn't accept US contributions to its project because of this former policy put in place by the Bush administration, which stipulated that any aid-receiving hospital couldn't distribute contraception.
