While the Hyde Ammendment may protect against federal funds being used to perfom abortions under Medicaid or in military hospitals, I've seen several references that indicate the Mexico policy reversal will allow US funding to flow to overseas organizations that perform abortions. If I am incorrect, please provide a reference.

Unfortunately the Mexico policy is just the first salvo in a much larger attack on the lives of the unborn and reward for the multi-millions the pro-abortion lobby (NARAL, Planned Parenthood, etc.) has pumped into the democratic campaign coffers over the years.

The FOCA act proposed by Sen. Boxer is 2007 is very dangerous and, as written, has the potential to be used as legal ground to take away the rights of those who won't perform abortion on moral grounds (individual doctors, Catholic hosptials). Obama has stated as recently as 2008 that he would sign this legislation.

This is exactly the type of federal intrusion in what should be a state and local issue that most conservatives feared from an Obama presidency with a Democrat controlled congress.
