The petition, launched yesterday at WhiteHouse.gov, needs at least 100,000 signatures by the end of June and is asking the White House to become proactive in encouraging Congress to dig into CRS for being in violation of the Mexico City Policy.
That policy denies U.S. taxpayer funding to any organization involved in the abortion industry, which is problematic for CRS because it receives hundreds of millions from Washington and at the same time is partnered with abortion-providing agencies in the African countries — a clear violation of the policy.
