Hillary Clinton: “Rededicating ourselves to the global efforts to improve reproductive health”Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s January 8, 2010 Remarks on the 15th Anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development: “So we are rededicating ourselves to the global efforts to improve reproductive health for women and girls . . . One of President Obama’s first actions in office was to overturn the Mexico City policy, which greatly limited our ability to fund family planning programs . . . This year, the United States renewed funding of reproductive healthcare through the United Nations Population Fund, and more funding is on the way. The U.S. Congress recently appropriated more than $648 million in foreign assistance to family planning and reproductive health programs worldwide.” |
