Biden administration 'hijacking' George Bush AIDS program to push abortion in Africa: GOP congressman
Fox News
GOP Rep. Chris Smith is sounding the alarm over what he says is a Biden administration plan to promote abortion in Africa using funding for a Bush era AIDS relief program.
PEPFAR, the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, was launched in 2003 under President George W. Bush and has invested over $100 billion fighting AIDS across the world while saving 25 million lives and preventing millions of infections, the State Department says. PEPFAR is up for re-authorization in Congress this year. Andrew Mark Miller is a writer at Fox News. Find him on Twitter @andymarkmiller and email tips to AndrewMark.Miller@Fox.com.
Smith says two groups, Population Services International (PSI) and Village Reach, have received $96.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively, over the last few years from PEPFAR under Biden, and both groups have a track record of pushing abortion.
