WASHINGTON, July 10, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The U.S. Senate has supported, on a voice vote, a move to overturn President George W. Bush’s pro-life Mexico City policy that prevents tax dollars from funding abortion overseas under the guise of innocuous-sounding family planning programs. The move, sponsored by abortion activist Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., California) was part of a $27 billion State Department package for foreign assistance programs. But the bill may not survive because the House of Representatives is considering a different version that does not contradict the Mexico City policy. And even if it did survive, the President would veto it. For newswire coverage: https://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030710/ap_on_go_co/congress_abortion_3
