Global Democracy Promotion Act not democratic

Monday, Jul 22, 2013
The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden regarding the reintroduction of the Global Democracy Promotion Act, which will prohibit restrictions on U.S. assistance to foreign non-governmental organizations:

“Democracy affirms that every innocent life deserves to be protected. We call upon Congress and the Obama administration to show true respect for democracy by putting a halt to its ceaseless efforts to impose on its radical agenda to life-affirming, sovereign nations. This bill’s claim to 'promote democracy' rings hollow when U.S.-funded international aid is being used to export abortion on demand to unwilling countries around the globe.”
