House Passes Girls Count Act (National ID cards)

[Lindsey]

I think the Girls Count Act may have slipped in under the radar. According to RPI, it promotes national ID cards.

Both girls and boys should be counted. But what brought upon this new policy now?
War lobbies neocon puppet Rubio is involved, so this senate foreign relations gimick smells not good.

Edit, there is some new on ending gender discrimination in drone killings if this is real:

Obama bans discrimination by drones
The Washington Times -
Friday, May 22, 2015
The Obama Justice Department issued new guidelines Friday for how the government should operate drones, including declaring a ban on flying them “to engage in discrimination,” ticking off race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation and “gender identity” as out of bounds for drone targeting.

Noting in the bill about National ID's. It is about registering births in foreign countries- not even US Citizens. Read it here: http://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/files/serve/?File_id=402ad4f9-4e02-45e9-9b50-c5c576767dfe

Should it pass, it also expires in five years after being enacted.

Following House passage of the Girls Count Act, Melissa Hillebrenner, Director of Girl Up, welcomed congressional passage as a win for adolescent girls around the world. According to UNICEF, there are 230 million children under the age of five whose births were never officially recorded. This legislation supports programs in developing countries that improve birth registration for girls and boys, and promotes policies that prevent discrimination against girls.

"The U.S. House of Representatives followed the Senate's lead and took an important step to help children everywhere reach their full potential. Failing to register children at birth makes them invisible to their government, stifling their opportunities for the future. Young girls in particular are disproportionately affected. Congressional passage of the Girls Count Act ensures all children have a nationally recognized proof of birth, helping guarantee that the rights of adolescent girls are protected and creating a brighter future for all of us.

I think everyone understands it's about foreign countries, how is it any business of ours?

So it's ok if it expires in 5 years? Since when has that ever stopped a government program?
