WASHINGTON, February 12, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Republicans in Congress are putting the finishing touches on their $397.4 billion spending bill this week. Much of the legislation deals with counter-terrorism measures and funding for the usual gamut of federal agencies, including $15.4 billion for NASA, $500 million more than last year.
President Bush's 2003 Budget, released on February 4, called for a deep, 11% cut in international family planning -- with zero funding for UNFPA.
Pro-lifers can take satisfaction that when the budget works its way through Congress, Bush will again be able to block U.S. aid to the United Nations for its overseas family planning programs, as he did last year.
