Description
Summary:	Bush administration policies are limiting the effective ness of family planning organizations in Uganda, thus contributing to women's deaths due to unsafe abortions and causing decreased access to emergency contraception, post-abortion care, and condoms. The Global Gag Rule restricts NGOs receiving USAID funds from "actively promoting abortion," which includes lobbying to legalize or make abortion available as a method of family planning and conducting public information campaigns regarding the benefits and/or availability of abortion.
