We aren't necessarily. "When the ban was in place, no U.S. government funding for family planning services could be given to clinics or groups that offer abortion services or counseling in other countries even if the funds for those activities come from non-U.S. government sources." If a clinic even mentioned abortion, they didn't get a fair share of the funds we allocate under this program worldwide. Even if they never used this funding for abortions, they were denied any other US help. It doesn't mean this money will be spent on abortions but could help with providing cheap birth control for women in poor nations and such. With the AIDS problem in some poor areas, it's been a cruel rule.
