Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Just one day after a few hundred thousand abortion advocates gathered in the nation's capital, the Bush administration is pulling the plug on a federal agency's plan to support an international conference that is backing abortion.

"We expect they will be notified officially" today, a senior government official told the Washington Times. "The conference has increasingly moved from a teaching forum to a platform for expressing partisan political views."
