Obama to reverse Mexico City abortion policy today

Reuters reports that President Barack Obama will reverse the Mexico City Policy today.

Called the Mexico City Policy because it was unveiled at a United Nations conference there in 1984 by former President Ronald Reagan, it forbids U.S. funding abroad to organizations which offer abortion services or counseling there.

There is a similar story in the Wall Street Journal. Both stories are based on information from unnamed sources. Likewise an Associated Press story which has joined the chorus.
