 In the 2002 decision Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush , Sotomayor upheld the Bush administration 's implementation of the Mexico City Policy , which states that " the United States will no longer contribute to separate nongovernmental organizations which perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations . " Sotomayor held that the policy did not constitute a violation of equal protection , as " the government is free to favor the anti @-@ abortion position over the pro @-@ choice position , and can do so with public funds . "
