Search Abortion: No Results
What stood out to me from the articles were thes two quotes "USAID denies funding to non-governmental organizations that perform abortions, or that 'actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations" and "We recently made all abortion terms stop words, as a federally funded project, we decided this was best for now." It seems as if the federal government is bullying organization, so that the will take their side on issues. Abortion is just one issue in which the government exercised its power to control the information being dispursed. Who knows when this may occur or has occurred. Another quote states "We are part of the Bush administration, so we have to make sure that all parts of the story are told, the administration's policy is definitely anti-abortion, and the administration does not see abortion as a part of family planning policy." Now this blatantly seems like an attempt to hide information that is against what the government percieves as correct. The keyword "abortion" is being restored, however, it should never have been removed. The website gave no warning at all and acting due to their personal beliefs not in the nature of freedom of speech.
