Its not so much the religious right as it the leaders of religion, Catholics are not allowed to use birth control. I dont really know about Muslims and what the tenents of their faith say about preventing pregnancy.
I just dont think it should be the role of taxpayers in America to pay for abortions in other countries , send them billions of condoms and birth control pills , help educate people as to the things that can happen when you have unprotected sex but to pay for abortions is just a bunch of crapola.
So I guess you could say that I agreed with us not sending money to clinics in other countries that perform abortions , but pretty much the writing is on the wall of how the next 4 years are going to be.
