As we all know, the President decided to not Executive Order the Mexico City policy out of existence yesterday – can’t imagine why, at all, at all – but today is another day, and the betting is that he’ll get around to it Real Soon Now. So the real question is, when? Does he do it first thing in the morning and get it over with, or does he do it just in time for it to miss the Friday night news?
Hey, this is actually an important question: this is going to be the first thing he does in office that is guaranteed – absolutely, completely, and unquestionably – going to bother a significant hunk of the people who voted for him. How he handles it is going be… ah, diagnostic.

PS: Notice that I’m doing President Obama the courtesy of assuming that he has at least as much spine as President Bill Clinton did.
PPS: That being said, if I was a betting man I’d be betting for somewhere around 4:45 PM.

Did I miss something?
DONTREADONME (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:26AM EST (link)I thought he already did so?
I think I missed something important here
Raven (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:30AM EST (link)This has to be the third time I’ve seen the “Mexico City Police” mentioned on RS.
But seeing as Mexico City is in Mexico and the POTUS, therefore, has no power over them whatsoever, I think you must be talking about something else…
Can I get an explanation?

Mexico City
DONTREADONME (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:31AM EST (link)It is U.S. policy implemented by Ronald Reagan in is presidency. It was nicknamed the Mexico City policy due to the so called harsh restrictions on abortion in Mexico City.
I read this yesterday..

A small thing - the difference of a day?
cookcountyconservative (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:31AM EST (link)“It might seem like a small thing – the difference of a day – but it’s a sign of how Obama at times seems to almost delight in keeping supporters just a bit off-balance.
It’s also a way to send an subtle message to moderate and conservative voters that he isn’t going to wear his support for abortion rights on his sleeve.”
I’m sorry – this is just nauseating.
Yeah, well
BlueLandRed (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:35AM EST (link)Obama support on this issue seems pretty hard core. If I was a betting man, I’d bet that at some point Obama is going to get “his” views coded into law by Congress so the next Republican President can’t just re-re-re-re-undo this executive order.
Yes, the Fox News Story says...
DONTREADONME (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:34AM EST (link)He reversed the executive order.
Here is a quote form the story.
DONTREADONME (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:35AM EST (link)“Separately, the administration in the afternoon issued a reversal of a ban on federal funding for non-governmental organizations working outside the U.S. that offer abortions or abortion counseling.
Obama signed the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.”
CNN is reporting otherwise, DONTREADONME.

I think that Fox may be wrong on this, because I’m not seeing it reported elsewhere and I’m pretty sure that people will start yelling once it’s confirmed.

OK,
DONTREADONME (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 12:48AM EST (link)Maybe I am paranoid, but maybe CNN does not want the Xorder to get out.
