from the NYTimes:
Jodi Jacobson, a former head of the Center for Health and
Gender Equity, which wants financing for all aspects of women’s
reproductive health, including
abortion,
wrote a blog post titled “Dybul Out: Thank You Hillary!!!” It argued
that he had worked too closely with the far right, and she accused him
of lobbying to please the
Roman Catholic Church by letting its relief groups refrain from distributing
condoms....
this is of course nonsense, because Catholic institutions are never going to give out condoms.
but it gets worse;
At the heart of the debate was the difficult bipartisan compromise
behind Mr. Bush’s AIDS plan. It is the darling of two groups that
normally oppose each other: foreign policy liberals who want to help
Africa and evangelical Christians who support mission
hospitals there.
This ignores that mission hospitals and church clinics supply most of the rural health care in Africa..
Notice the NYTimes says one or the other?
