the United States withdrew from its decades-long role as a global leader in supporting family planning tax-payer funded abortion clinics abroad.

Fixed it.

The United States PEPFAR program promotes the “correct and consistent use of Condoms.” [url]http://www.pepfar.gov/about/c19387.htm[/url] How is this, according the article, “sh[ying] away from providing contraceptive devices in developing countries, even to married women”?

The purpose of PEPFAR is to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. It may well be true that the U.S. “prohibited groups from spending any of it on family planning services or counseling programs,” just like our agricultural aid to Uganda also cannot be used for family planning. (To allow otherwise would be known as embezzlement.)

The “United States is the third ranking donor to Uganda.” [url]http://www.usaid.gov/policy/budget/cbj2006/afr/ug.html[/url] With biased articles like this, any lesser country similarly criticized would probably just say “F ‘em” and be done with it.
