We gave Africa money to spend on AIDS treatments. The money was for that and that alone. Not birth control, and not for highways for that matter. For AIDS treatments. I may not agree with the narrow distribution, but there is absolutely no room for anyone to complain about what the US did to save lives.

You’re completely missing the point. The money was given ON THE CONDITION that it not be used for any kind of family planning or birth control, even though it’s quite obvious that these issues are all inter-related.

Why is this so hard to grasp?
