Bush Caused Population Explosion in Africa
Under President George W.
Bush , the United States withdrew from its decades-long role as a global leader
in supporting family planning, driven by a conservative ideology that favored
abstinence and shied away from providing contraceptive devices in developing
countries, even to married women...Bush's mammoth global anti-AIDS initiative,
the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, poured billions of dollars into
Africa but prohibited groups from spending any of it on family planning services
or counseling programs, whose budgets flat-lined...researchers, Africa experts
and veteran U.S. health officials now think that PEPFAR also
contributed to Africa's epidemic population growth by undermining efforts to
help women in some of the world's poorest countries exercise greater control
over their fertility.
