Bauer commented: "It is both sad and infuriating that in the same week that President Obama extended new rights to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and began planning to release men whom we know have murdered Americans, he is preparing to sentence innocent children to death through abortion. The decision to overturn the Mexico City policy means that taxpayer dollars will be given to organizations performing abortions. And all of this will be done at tax-payer expense. This is not the kind of change that keeps America safe or that exports the best of our values."
