	Global Gag Rule: Exporting Antiabortion Ideology at the Expense of American Values (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Gag rule opponents maintain that while the policy is being promoted as antiabortion, it also remains at its core anti-family planning.

		While the gag rule policy may be identical to the one implemented in the 1980s, the world has changed dramatically in the intervening years.

	Regulation Abolishing the Gag Rule
		Although the requirements embodied in the Gag Rule were upheld by the Supreme Court in 1991 as a permissible construction of section 1008, the rules continued to be a source of controversy, with the provider and medical communities litigating after 1991 to prevent enforcement of the rules.

		The gag rule originally was announced by the Reagan administration at the 1984 United Nations International Conference on Population in Mexico City.

		The global gag rule prohibits U.S. family planning assistance to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide abortion-related information or services, even if these services are legal in their own countries and are funded with their own money.

		THE BUSH administration slapped a gag rule on overseas reproductive health clinics as its first official act in 2001, but the policy has remained something of an abstraction.
		The gag rule goes further by restricting US funds from health clinics that so much as inform their patients about the option of legal abortion or who work to change their country's laws.
		The rule is so strict that foreign aid cannot be used to fund AIDS programs, malaria treatment, screenings for cervical cancer, or prenatal care at clinics that also provide abortion services or counseling.

		The global gag rule is a U.S. policy that denies foreign organizations receiving U.S. family planning assistance the right to use their non-U.S. funds to either engage in public policy debates or perform legal abortions.
		The gag rule would be unconstitutional if applied domestically, because it conditions the eligibility of U.S.-based organizations for federal funds on a requirement that the organizations capitulate their rights to use their own funds to contribute to the political process.
		Additionally, this gag rule restricts foreign, non-governmental organizations from engaging in activities that are legal in their own countries, as well as the United States.

	Global Gag Rule Threatens International Family Planning Programs
		Under the terms of the deal, the essence of the Mexico City gag rule was written into federal law as a one-year "rider" to the FY 2000 foreign aid appropriations bill.
		Considering that USAID is under a mandate to minimize harm to the program, and that the new rules likely will not be operationalized until spring, the political case against the restrictions will have to be based more on principle than on their actual effect.
		At the same time, the fact that the House (the undisputed stumbling block) last year did endorse an alternative approach to the gag rule—one that was at least minimally acceptable to family planning supporters, the administration and a bipartisan majority in the House, if not its leadership—is cause for some optimism.

	Women worldwide face effects of Bush's gag rule
		Under the gag rule, family planning agencies that receive U.S. money may not offer abortion counsel or refer women to abortion providers, or lobby to make or keep abortion legal in their own country, even if they use separate funds not provided by the United States.
		The gag rule restricts the simplest ways to improve the status of women: funding birth-control supplies so they can avoid unintended pregnancies and care for children they already have.
		Because most nongovernmental organizations that provide family planning have refused to abide by the gag rule, the resulting lack of U.S. funds has restricted the contraceptive supply, which means that abortion is also very common.
