In addition, the organization was forced to close a clinic in Kenya’s Mathare Valley which had offered Malaria treatment, childhood immunizations...
...have a great deal of respect for many pro-lifers. While I disagree with their definition of life, I admire their devotion to its defense. But the Global Gag Rule is an unconscionable policy; it is a black-eye for the pro-life movement. A “pro-life policy” so willing to sacrifice individuals’ lives is nothing more than a vile misnomer...
