US ends funds for African Aids programme

That one is for you, Eroswebmaster LOL

Quote:
The US government has cut off funds to an Aids programme for refugees in Africa - six weeks after President George Bush toured the continent promising to fight the disease - because it objects to the activities of one of the aid agencies involved, Marie Stopes International.
A state department official said yesterday that US law prohibited the funding of organisations that support China's repressive population policy - a definition sufficiently elastic to include Marie Stopes, which runs family planning programmes there.

However, organisations that work on reproductive health and Aids argue that the decision betrays the Bush administration's wider hostility to abortion. Its commitment to a rightwing Christian agenda has led it to promote abstinence as a strategy against HIV-Aids in preference to condoms, they say.
