In signing an executive order to fund abortions overseas, President Biden chose to disregard the wishes of the African people.resident Joe Biden likes to present himself as an advocate for racial justice and a man of the people, especially those whose voices are often under-represented.

The governmentÂ’s response thus far has been to downplay the risks and carry on with life as normal. Mexican officialdom has taken almost no steps to contain the virus or prepare for an outbreak, despite a warning last week from the deputy health minister that a widespread outbreak is inevitable and that community transmission could begin there in a matter...
