WASHINGTON–Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York, chairman
of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life
Activities, thanked and praised the Trump Administration following release of
its six-month report showing early signs of successful implementation of an
expanded Mexico City Policy aptly renamed Protecting Life in Global Health
Assistance.
“As Chairman of the United States Bishops’ Committee, I
again applaud this Administration for restoring our foreign assistance to its rightful
goals of promoting health and human rights. Abortion undermines basic human
rights, certainly for the child, and it also can wound the mother emotionally
and physically. U.S. tax dollars have no business going to organizations that
are unwilling to pursue health outcomes for every person and instead insist on
promoting and imposing their abortion ideology on women and children. The
six-month report just released by the Trump Administration provides early
evidence that the vast majority of NGOs—729 out of 733—are willing and able to
comply with this policy and that compliance does not appear to undermine
delivery of appropriate health services.”
