The parallels with the Ukraine funding are so obvious. Is anything not subject to politicization anymore? It’s become so entrenched. Everything on The Hill is a battle between good and evil, in the eyes of the beholder. (Also: First time I used the computer-generated audio. Was good.)
It’s so frustrating to see how narrow-minded anti-abortion activists fail to understand the deathly consequences of demanding purity by opposing any reproductive healthcare. Given the post-Dobbs chaos here, do they even have a definition or full understanding of how women’s bodies work and what normal healthcare looks like for women? Are Pap smears allowed?
I am pro-life in the consistent whole life vein and it infuriates me that people who need PEPFAR to survive may die.
I wonder if any of these activists have ever spoken to family members of people who died of AIDS before these life-saving drugs existed. Have they worked with HIV positive orphans in Africa? Do they want the lives of a million or so adults who rely on medication provided by PEPFAR on their conscience? Do they want to push Africa even closer to China, with its godless use of abortion for population control?
Thank you for this succinct summary, Elise. You’ve explained the situation so clearly.
