Huzzah!! There were some grumblings yesterday as to when he would do this.
ABC News has learned that later today President Obama will sign an executive order overturning the "Mexico City Policy," which prohibits Non Governmental Organizations that receive international family planning assistance through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from providing or actively promoting abortions as a method of family planning in other countries.
The policy -- called the "Global Gag rule" by supporters of abortion rights -- was first instituted by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, was overturned by President Bill Clinton in 1993, and was re-instituted by President George W. Bush in 2001.
