: Uganda has experienced the greatest decline in HIV of any country in the world. Ten years ago, 1991-2000, HIV infection rates in Uganda declined from about 15 percent to 5 percent. Among pregnant women in the capita, Kampala, HIV prevalence dropped from about 30 percent to 10 percent. Similar declines have continued until the present. How did Uganda do it?
The crucial factor was a national campaign against sexual behaviors that spread disease. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the Ugandan government, working with church and community organizations, delivered an ABC prevention message: (A) Abstain from sex until marriage, (B) Be faithful to your spouse, or (C) use Condoms if abstinence and fidelity are not practiced.
The link between Uganda's "ABC" approach and the dramatic reduction in the country's HIV/AIDS rate is clear. Uganda did it. All Africa could do it. The United States --- if we had the intelligence --- could do it as well.
No one ever died because of the Pope saying "practice the moral virtues."

Oh, but sexual repression is just the worst thing ever, don’cha know. It causes all sorts of psychosexual pathologies.
Or was that porn and twisted sexuality that cause those?
Oh, well, at any rate, think of all the women who die in childbirth. They could have avoided that just by murdering their babies. Or by having a c-section, or any one of a number of different ways.
Just remember, when they say “choice,” choosing life is not among your options. The most important thing is that the gods be fed the lives of innocents.
There is a huge, multi-billion dollar AIDS industry, largely run by designated gay people. Like the government welfare industry, individuals working in such organizations may mean well, but the basic purpose of any such government fund bureaucracy is to grow and expand.
The more condoms they shovel into Africa, the more AIDS is spread. And the more government funds are needed to “fight” AIDS by spreading it. And the more the organization grows.
As I said, I don’t know how many of them know exactly what it is they are doing, and how damaging it is. But that’s how it works. Welfare is designed to break up families and increase illegitimate births—not really a big secret, since it was widely talked about. AIDS is much the same. They are both ways to appeal to taxpayer sympathy making use of human hardship, while actually increasing the problems.
Amen. Least of all the unborn. Very true, except for martyrs.
