Millions of women worldwide marched the day after the Inauguration and it seems the Trump administration paid no attention. They have reinstated the 'Global Gag Rule' which bans recipients of U.S. foreign aid from offering abortion-related services. In order to continue to receive funding, they must stop offer abortions and abortion-related services. This represents a huge step backward for women all over the world. Unsafe abortions will increase, women seeking treatment as the result of unsafe abortions will be turned away ,young pregnant girls in third world countries will have no where to turn. If a clinic refuses to abide by the Global Gag rule, they not only lose u.s. funding, but donated contraceptives and 'Cutting-edge leadership and technical expertise, which is predominantly provided by the U.S. international family planning program within USAID'. Yep, great progress for women. Thanks Trump for harming women's health all over the world.

The march wasn't intended to criticize Trump voters. It was to put Trump on notice that millions of voters want to be governed, among other things, by equality. And plenty of women voted for Hillary: Clinton won female voters by 12 points and lost male voters to Trump by 11 points, creating the largest gender gap in a presidential election since 1972

So what, why do people keep saying that? American women come in all colours. Let's drill down further on the way women voted: Clinton won female voters by 12 points and lost male voters to Trump by 11 points Trump won the white women vote by 53 percent overall. Trump’s success is specifically among white women without college degrees, 61 percent of whom voted for him. Clinton actually did 7 points better than Trump with white college-educated women. Clinton won female voters by 12 points and lost male voters to Trump by 11 points, creating the largest gender gap in a presidential election since 1972 Nationally, Clinton picked up 54 percent of women voters compared with Trump’s mere 42 percent. Among college-educated voters, more than 90 percent of black women voted for Hillary Clinton 95 percent of black women voters without a college degree also voted for her She performed similarly with Hispanic women and nonwhite women.

Can you expand on the linked article?

So you agree that unless we read the linked article we would have no idea why they were supposedly turned away. You have a lazy way of posting. You post a link without offering a summary of the article and what you think about it. You have enough years on this forum by now to be able to post high quality comments but apparently you only care about playing the game and posting as little as you can get away with and watching that post counter.

No its not.

Well I have seen posts deleted for this very reason but not yours. Telling.

If you want some sort of mature discussion to take place. It's up to you of course.

Why don't you offer some sort of opinion on the links you post? Like you just did instead of us having to read the article?

So what? Why do you keep posting links without offering something to discuss about the links?

You need to offer something as to why you posted this link?

Your point?

What does age have to do with it?

The Canadian media can do whatever they want. American opinions have no influence on what they report.

I don't care that you don't care what he does.

Even if he does go after nafta, we still have the FTA agreement which was never terminated, just suspended when nafta came into effect. FTA is a legacy agreement from the Reagan administration. Trump won't touch that one. https://sec.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/trump-canada-and-the-future-of-nafta/article33664146/?service=amp

Do you honestly think there are no women in Muslim countries fighting for their rights? Again, your continued ignorance about Muslim women is appalling. Here you go: Muslim women in India are in a Supreme Court fight for equal divorce rights 3 Women of Muslim Backgrounds Receive US Human Rights Prize Triple talaq issue: Muslim women fighting for their rights is a great moment for democracy Iranian women call on Western tourists to violate hijab law to fight against oppression 100 Women 2015: Iranian women's fight for freedom

You inject such hyperbolic words in your posts but yet they never cease to amaze me. 'Massive influx' 'religious extremists' It's interesting how such differing opinions can result from the same program Argus doesn't seem to realize that men, women and children would love to escape these oppressive societies or better still work to change them Many women-led revolts are happening all over the world in these oppressive societies and Dialamah recognizes this You are heartless by your self imposed ignorance

Does that include fox?

Gee, this sounds like trollspeak.

CNN was very careful to not post specific details of the compromised situations. Not sure what you mean by news not reporting facts? Are you including all news organizations? That's a pretty broad insinuation.

It doesn't have to be but why would a news organization refuse to publish it if it was important enough to notify the current Administration as well as Trump's administration. It is the news organization's duty to inform the public of information such as this. Do you want the news information you receive to be censored?

So Lewis states that Trump is not a 'legimate' President-Elect' because of Russia's interference in the election campaign. Is Lewis just calling out the elephant in the room that everyone refuses to admit or is he out of line?

No, Trump didn't put him in his place. Trump was bullying the reporter after Trump attacked the credibility of the news organization he works for and the reporter was trying to address the issue (and rightfully so) but Trump is too much of a coward (as bullies usually are) to debate it with him.

Agree, they had to let him know because they think it's important enough even though it's unverified. That alone is cause for it to be reported on MSM.
