President Trump signs a ban on federal funding for overseas abortions.Whitehouse.gov

January 24, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Feminists and allied social leftists reacted angrily to Donald Trump’s first pro-life act as President reinstating Ronald Reagan’s original ban on funding of groups that perform or promote abortions overseas.

U.S. law forbids direct government funding of abortions abroad, but pro-life experts say that providing taxpayer funds to groups like Planned Parenthood, ostensibly for non-abortion activities, frees up other funds that are then used to terminate unborn babies.

On social media, pro-abortion feminists and their allies railed against Trump for his pro-life action, some with more civility than others.

Others used the F-bomb to tweet against Trump.

Rep. Dana Titus, D-NV, used the feminist “war on women” slogan to tweet against Trump:

Trump's war on women goes global. The #GlobalGag rule will keep life-saving health care out of the developing world. https://t.co/Shu7THqaOA

Amy Collins tweeted:

A female “sex toy” reviewer named Sam tweeted:

Sam made no reference to the unborn lives that would be saved in foreign nations by ceasing U.S. funding or pro-abortion NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations).

“Picking up on another feminist theme, the left-leaning Huffington Post ran a headline on the Mexico City Policy reinstatement: “Donald Trump Signs Anti-Abortion Executive Order Surrounded By Men.” Above a video clip of the Oval Office signing ceremony, the article states: “A pan of the people standing by his side showed that there were few, if any, women present.”

The pro-abortion group NARAL (formerly the National Abortion Rights Action League) used the same anti-male theme but added a racial component. It tweeted a photo of Trump signing the executive order. At the top of the photo it reads “The Pro-Life Patriarchy” and at the bottom “Group of White Men Watch as Trump Reinstates Global Gag Rule.”

A Pennsylvania woman going by “Sneaker Paul Ryan” tweeted: “On Saturday women staged the largest protest in US history. if you think #globalgag [reinstating the Mexico City Policy] is anything but petty revenge, think again.”

A writer for socially left site The Slot/Jezebel describes the effect of the Mexico City Policy (repeating the feminist line that abortion-on-demand is a “women’s health” issue): “Practically, it is brutal for women’s health: the rule forces NGOs (non-governmental organizations) to choose between accepting federal funds for family planning, but being forced to exclude any mentions of abortion in their care, or find alternative sources of funding.”

Commenting on the Jezebel article, Zoab-Anu gave more evidence of the great hatred that leftist feminists have for Trump and pro-life Republicans in general: “A lot of these vile men would assault and rape their wives; then claim it is neither as they are property to them. This (sh-t) is repulsive. Having this colostomy bag in power needs to be challenged legally and continuously, until he is formally impeached and imprisoned for treason against (the) US Constitution and his lifelong crimes of abusing women.”
