Trump's pick for US representative to the UN is a dangerous anti-abortion fanatic

Unlike previous iterations, Trump’s global gag rule targets nearly all global health assistance funds, and has already cut funding for programs targeting issues such as HIV/Aids, maternal and child health, malaria, tuberculosis, family planning and reproductive health, nutrition, non-communicable diseases, water, sanitation and hygiene at the household and community levels, and the Zika virus. A policy that once affected millions of dollars now affects billions.
-------
While many of the affected areas are similar to those affected in past iterations of the gag rule, the scope of the harm of Trump’s policy is likely to be broader because all global health assistance partners are gagged. A 2018 Change report, Prescribing Chaos in Global Health: The Global Gag Rule from 1984-2018, anticipates that the new protocol will affect a broader range of health areas than ever before, such as nutrition, malaria, tuberculosis and gender-based violence, which are all subject to the policy.

Given all that we know about Trump’s contributions to the global gag rule, it’s clear that matters will only get worse with Andrew Bremberg in charge

Why are the American capitalist kings still supporting this Traitor? Is making a few extra dollars really worth destroying our country?

Come on Bill Gates put your money where your mouth is. Come on Buffet fight for your country. Let's go Bezos, don't let Trump intimidate you. Zuckerberg do you really want to let those Russians trample on our democracy again? Waltons don't you have enough already? Koch bros do you think Putin is going to let you keep your wealth?

I never thought so many with so much would care so little for democracy.

That's the main problem with devout Evangelicals. They are all salesmen and saleswomen, who have to sell their religion to others. They have gone from "go forth and preach" to seize power and compel compliance with their bullshit.
