Eight countries sign up to counter Trump's global anti-abortion move

[maxspeed3006]

[QUOTE]Eight countries have joined an initiative to raise millions of dollars to replace shortfalls caused by President Donald Trump's ban on U.S.-funded groups around the world providing information on abortion, Sweden's deputy prime minister said.

Isabella Lovin told Reuters a conference would be held on March 2 in Brussels to kick-start the funding initiative to help non-governmental organizations whose family planning projects could be affected.

The Netherlands announced in January the launch of a global fund to help women access abortion services, saying Trump's "global gag rule" would cause a funding shortfall of $600 million over the next four years.

Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Luxemburg, Finland, Canada and Cape Verde have all lent their support, Lovin said.[/QUOTE]

how many movie and comic villains are out there that have said, "you only became a good guy when I did bad things"?

So the US will save money while the funding for groups providing information on abortion stays the same?

Is this the 3D-chess I've heard so much about?

Good thing Cape Verde has lent their support, don't know where we'd be without them
