Mexico, Nafta & Abortion

... reviewing old agreements. No doubt it can be updated; it is 23 years old. Intellectual property rights have evolved, the Internet not only exists but is an important distribution channel for goods, services, and information, there are new tax and accounting rules, and the like. While modernizing old agreement is one thing, changing the essential thrust (reduced barriers to trade in the North American continent) is quite a different thing. It is not clear to many whether Trump’s rhetoric is part of the “Art of the Deal,” or whether it is a principled position. Like his predecessors, Trump also talks about enforcing existing agreements. Sometimes there have been trade disputes among NAFTA countries. That is an important thing that is often overlooked about trade agreements. They provide a conflict resolution mechanism, ...

Texas Ag Not Opposed To Suing Trump Administration

... the “Mexico City Policy” on abortion funding, which bans non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortions from receiving U. S. government funding. “I’m excited about, obviously, Donald Trump being President,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Since President Trump took office Friday, Paxton has heard a lot of jokes about what he plans to do with all his spare time. “We have plenty to do,” Paxton said. The State of Texas filed at least 48 lawsuits against the federal government during Obama's eight -year presidency, according to the Texas Tribune’s tally. The AG's office released cost estimates for 39 of those cases— a total of about $5.9 million, as of mid-2016. “It so significantly affects us what the federal government does, it’s important we’re apart of whatever is going on,” said Paxton. Paxton is happy to have a Republican in the White House but the state’s top lawman said that doesn’t mean Texas will stop suing the federal government or hold off on filing new cases against the Trump Administration. “It’s about the Constitution, it’s about following the rule and ...

Trump Will Sign Executive Order To Defund International Planned Parenthood This Weekend

... with the mandate. The policy was lifted by former President Bill Clinton in 1993, then reinstated by former President George W. Bush when he took office in 2001. Eight years later, former President Barack Obama overturned the rule. So reports that the new president may reinstate the policy are not surprising. Regardless, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N. H.) told Foreign Policy that she is prepared to fight Trump on the matter through legislative procedures, should he reinstate the rule through executive order. Any legislation to overturn the president’s policy decision on this matter would need to pass through the Republican-controlled House and Senate, and would even then likely face a veto from Trump. “It will be one of their first actions, which is very short-sighted,” she told the magazine. And Amnesty International said the move would “send a dangerous message to ...

Why Xo's Abortion Still Matters In The Midseason Premiere

... writer Jenée Desmond-Harris wrote, the Women's March on Washington was more than an anti-Trump protest. According to the Women's March  website, women (and their male allies) were marching in solidarity for the rights of women. That included their safety, health and families. In fact, the march's mission doesn't even mention Trump — though it's clear with the words "the rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized and threatened many of us" who the organizers mean. Trump's sexism came out at various times during his campaign. From the first presidential debate to claiming "grab them by the pussy" was just  "locker room banter,"  he's made it clear what he thinks of women. In December, the New York Times reported Trump has "emboldened" anti-choice groups. As a result, abortion ...

... for Life,” Mr. Schilling adds. According to House Majority Leader Kevin Mc Carthy, the House votes Tuesday on H.

President Obama overturned the policy in 2009; President Trump restored it when he took office. SPICER’S INNOVATION. Not long ago the White House press corps feared they would be banished from the 49-seat White House press room itself and sent to an office building next door that could accommodate more journalists.

But one new innovation was set into motion during White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s very first daily briefing on Monday: a quarter of ...

Pro-life Groups Praise President Donald Trump Signing Order Defunding International Planned Parenthood

... his promised pro-life agenda. Taxpayer funding for abortions, whether here or overseas, is unpopular with voters and is plain wrong. It amounts to subsidizing the violent victimization of women and children, in particular poor and minority women who feel they have no choice but to have an abortion. Redirecting those funds to health centers that offer women real choice and hope is the right policy moving forward. Thank you, President Trump, for standing up for the vulnerable and for holding true to your promise to help bring an end to taxpayer funded abortion.” Ashley Mc Guire , Senior Fellow with The Catholic Association. “Three days after President Obama took office he rescinded the Mexico City Policy, thereby allowing foreign non-governmental organizations to use American tax-payers’ money to perform abortions overseas.  Today, three days into his own term, ...

Trump Signs Order Withdrawing From Tpp

... good on a central premise of Trump's campaign and its economic nationalist underbelly. Trump on Monday also met with union leaders and blue-collar workers several hours after signing the executive action and had a separate meeting with business leaders. As the Republican nominee, Trump railed against free trade agreements he argued were lopsided against the US and vowed to implement more protectionist trade policies as president, rallying voters to the polls with his "America First" slogan. Trump has also threatened to impose trade tariffs as a way to revive American manufacturing and compel US companies not to take their manufacturing operations abroad. New agenda.
