Several news outlets, including the Grauniad are reporting that Obama will rescind the global gag rule.
They're also reporting that he forbore from doing it yesterday, anniversary of Roe v. Wade and annual fetus fetishist bunfest, out of 'sensitivity'. By contrast, both Bill Clinton and George Bush used the anniversary -- Bill to lift the rule, George to reimpose it again.
I'll update as the shrieeeking builds. :D

The Shrieeek We Want to Hear
Today is the 36th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade and the fetus fetishists are taking to the streets of Washington to protest. Again.
But as that link points out, they're not going to get much support from President Obama.
In fact, pro-choice supporters are expecting Obama to mark this anniversary by rescinding the Mexico City Policy, or Global Gag Rule today.
This will be a good thing but what we're really looking forward to is his signing of the Freedom of Choice Act, which will nullify all the pissant little rules, regulations, and restrictions various states have instituted to impede women's reproductive rights.
The shrieeeeking will be thunderous. And delightful to pro-choice ears.
