Ironically, on this 10th anniversary of the death of the Notorious B.I.G. and given the considerable amount of attention given to hip-hop, especially here on Princeton's campus, a discussion is in order, one that does not make gross generalizations about an entire group of people as the views espoused in yesterday's column by Brandon McGinley '10 did.

The day President Bush took office, he reimposed the Global Gag Rule, which was initiated by Reagan and revoked by Clinton soon after his inauguration.The Gag Rule, formally known as the Mexico City Policy, requires "nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] to agree as a condition of their receipt of Federal funds that such organizations would neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations." In practice, the Global Gag Rule forces NGOs receiving money from the United States Agency for International Development to cease mentioning abortion, cease referring women seeking abortions to abortion providers and cease providing abortion services with private funding.
