SB 2017-073: Atlasian Aid Protection Act (Passed)

I'd just like to say I think it's best for this matter to be settled by the Congress, because if US tradition is any indication, the executive order that the President signed earlier in his term is likely one that will frequently be either withdrawn or reinstated by the party that controls the White House.  This bill reaffirms longstanding policy on taxpayer dollars not being used to fund abortions, but does not hinder the speech or practices of these health organizations through a global gag rule that the so-called Mexico City policy establishes.  I think this is a fair compromise that should settle this issue.

     Are there any other comments? It seems to me that this has pretty broad support, so if there are no other concerns then I can open a vote in 24 hours.

I'll motion for a vote.

Seconded.

Aye.
